IIS Insider - Zzz...

Errr.... 2 yrs ago I told you I wrote the last ever IIS Insider column for MS!!! Chris Adam back then even put up a notice to inform everyone.
Believe me, the URL is valid back then.... after MS site reorg, yeah! happen every quarter you know :) so it got 'integrated' with 'technet', last I heard it was making it way to iis.net, and yet nothing happen since then. The Sep 2006 issue is missing now! the last archive is Aug 2006

Anyway, I felt that one of the Q&A is very useful :) and lucky, I kept the edited manual scripts, so I have repost it here.

Hi Bernard,

Quick questions on IIS:

Can I downgrade IIS 6 to IIS 5.1 on Win2003 Server machine?

I am having problems with Response Buffer and the easiest way out for now is to downgrade to 5.1 as I haven't fully tested my app on version 6. If it is possible, can I just simply uninstall 6.0 and install 5.1? Is it even possible to use 5.1 on a Win2003 server?

Appreciate your help as I know you're an expert on the subject.

Thanks!

Ohh. I have replied you in email as well.

>>

You can't. with W2k3, you get IIS 6. IIS 5.1 is only for XP Pro 32bit edition (except home edition).

What's the reponse buffer error msgs anyway?
