Learn how to install and run your ASP.NET applications on systems without IIS in six easy steps:

Download a redistributable version of the Cassini Web server.
Create a regular (non-Web) Setup Project for your ASP.NET application in VisualStudio.NET and add the Cassini redistributable merge module to it.
Implement custom installer actions that will register your application with Cassini after installation and unregister the application during product uninstallation.

This allows you to create an installation package capable of installing your ASP.NET application on boxes that have no IIS, like Windows XP Home.
