Can't install iewebcontrols.msi - error "webctrl_client is unavailable"

[Viking Man]

I try to install iewebcontrols.msi on my XP Pofessional system, which I
downloaded from here
(http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...0c-8ad6-4bca-8860-8a6ae3f64448&DisplayLang=en)

I go through accepting the licence and get an error:
"The specified path http://latitude/webctrl_client is unavailable. The
Internet Information Server might not be running or the path exists and is
redirected to another machine. Please check the status of this virtual
directory in the Internet Information Server."

I went Control Panel - Admin Tools - Internet Information Services but
there is no sign of webctrl_client. IIS seems to be running OK.

Are you trying to get the version that is used for Content Management
Server? If not, you might try the version of the web controls at:
http://www.asp.net/IEWebControls/Download.aspx?tabindex=0&tabid=1

If I remember correctly, this is actually the full source version (which
includes a batch file for compilation). You'll need to copy the
webctrl_client directory under the wwwroot (or create a virtual directory to
the files) in order for the controls to run properly.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Mark. Yes unfortunately I am trying to install CMS, and the IE
Webcontrols are a pre-requisite. That's why I used the .MSI version
rather than the version you suggested.
