It sahould be there. You said you are using XP Pro, that has IIS 5.1. I do my developemnt on XP PRO and it has that option. It is also on IIS6 (Win server 2003).The best I can suggest is to uninstall the .Net framework, then uninstall IIS (you'll need your XP CD) then install IIS, then .Net framework.Is it possible for you to post a screenshot of your IIS manager with the left tree fully expanded?
