testing server - 9/6/2008 18:16:53   
Trying to setup my testing server on dreamweaver 8 I have Vista premium.

error: Dreamweaver can not use the prefix you entered to display live data.

It asks: what URL would you use to browse to the root of your site. I have http://localhost. is this correct?

Are there any tutorials to help with this?

Do you have IIS (Internet Information Services) installed on your PC?

I remember something about that when I had XP Pro but I haven't set it up on this new computer.

It needs to be installed for you to be able to use your local machine as a test server, otherwise you will get the same error over and over again.

At the risk of sounding completely illiterate, how do I install the IIS?
