 Concept:

 When we are installing  windows -Xp or windows server 2003 OS to any computer .Os installed without   iis. To run or develop any web application (made of asp or php language) ,we have to install iis manually.
 After installing iis ,computer  becomes  a web server.We can use it for any website development(On  asp or php language)

Pr-requite:
we have some  Pr-requite for installing iis .They are...
  1.  Windows xp /windows server 2003 installation CD
  2.  CD-ROM
  3. Administrator Permission right 
Steps:
  1.   Install iis to computer.(refer below video)
  2.  Place your web application to  any drive(web application may be collection of html pages/asp pages/php pages)
  3. Make a virtual directory in iis. The virtual directory points to  your web application.
  4.  Web application must contain  a  " index.html/index.htm/index.php/index.asp "  page,because iis first call   " index.html/index.htm/index.php/index.asp " page.
  5. Now type   http://localhost/vApp/index.html  on address bar  of any browser (IE 8/Mozilla) to run the  web application, (Here VApp is virtual dir name in iis ).
