Source Safe and IIS and Code Co-op

I have a huge web site that has bugs and the only way I can unravel them is to break down and get source safe or a product like it.

Can anyone suggest a software to use? I have so far tried to run Source Safe and then I tried to run a program called Code Co-op.

First, SourceSafe:

I got SSWIProductInstaller.msi from download.com. I guess it is a trial version of source safe from microsoft. That is what they say anyway. But the deal is, when I try to run it, it says I don't have IIS installed.

But I have it. And I can run Internet Information Services (IIS6) Manager (C:\WINDOWS\system32\Inetsrv6\iis6.msc) and when I try to run SSWIProductInstaller.msi it says:

This setup requires IIS 4.0 or higher...

I tired to type http://localhost/ to see if IIS is working but it did not bring up a page.​

Now for Code Co-op

I installed it, like it asked to do and I created a project but I could never get it to let me input files.​

 

Hellooooo?

I have Windows XP Home addition. It is the OS that came with this computer.

So I have two questions.

(#1) I understand that there is no IIS with this OS. Is that right?

(#2) Where do I go to buy XP Pro? Can you just pick one up at Circuit City?

 

That's correct, XP HOME does NOT have IIS installed (IIS5.1).

Apache is free, they say at Best Buy. I think I will go with them. Comments? Suggestions?

Windows XP Pro is something like 200 dollars. That doesn't seem fair.

 

Does anyone use Apache? What to download from the website www.apache.org is not very straightforward.
