The Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool installation process on the target server and on an intermediate computer running Windows is identical. The target server must be running Windows Server 2003. The intermediate computer can be running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional, Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Advanced Server, or Microsoft Windows Server 2003.

Install the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool on the computer running Windows by completing the following steps:

  1. Install the Internet Information Services 6.0 Resource Kit Tools from the Microsoft Download Center onto a computer other than the target server.

  2. Install Perl on the computer running Windows.

    Because the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool is written in Perl, you must install a Perl interpreter before you can run the tool. Install Perl on the computer running Windows and verify that the Perl interpreter is configured properly before installing the tool. To obtain a free copy of Perl, see ActivePerl.

  3. Copy the AIISMT_windows.exe from the systemroot\Program Files\AIISMT folder on the computer in step 1 to the desktop of the target server.

  4. Double-click AIISMT_windows.exe.

    The WinZip Self-Extractor dialog box appears.

  5. In the Unzip to folder box, type the path of the folder where you want to extract the tool or click Browseto browse to the folder.

  6. Click Unzip.

    The WinZip Self-Extractor extracts the Apache to IIS 6.0 Migration Tool into the folder selected in step 5.
