To install PWS on Windows 98, you need to obtain the Windows NT Option Pack from http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/NT4OptPk/.

When you launch the Option Pack installer, you see an introduction screen. Click the Next button. You see the End User License Agreement dialog box. Click the Accept button to continue.

Next, you are presented with some setup options (see Figure B.3):

• Minimum: Basic functions; no documentation

• Typical: Basic functions plus documentation and other components

• Custom: All functions with customised choices

  Figure B.3. The Microsoft Personal Web Server Setup dialog box.

  

For most users, Minimum or Typical is a good choice. However, to ensure that you have the functions you need, the Custom choice is best. Click the Custom button to continue.

The selections presented by default in the Select Components dialog box, shown in Figure B.4, are enough for you to install PWS. However, if you want to customize some selections, you can do so by clicking a selection and then clicking the Show Subcomponents button. When you are happy with your selections, click the Next button to continue.

Next you see a paths dialog box, as shown in Figure B.5. This dialog box allows you to set the root directory for web pages and other items (depending on the options you selected in the preceding dialog box). The directory for web pages is C:\Inetpub\ wwwroot \ by default. It is recommended that you leave this path as the default, because some other software has problems if this path is not the default path .

Click the Next button, and the installation finishes.
