   can i programmatically set up a web serv

   hi all   
      
   i'm primarily a ASP web developer, so i'm not sure if i can do this or not.   
   i want to allow client's on my site to run a local version of the site off   
   their laptop. i want to give the user an option on the site that grabs all   
   the ASP pages, extracts just their records for MS SQL and exports to MS   
   Access, then packs into a zip file for download. no problem with any of the   
   steps so far. what should happend next is the user runs my app which:   
      
   a. checks to see if PWS is installed on the machine and if so, is there a   
   domain set up to point to my pages. if not, install PWS and add the domain.   
   b. copy my files to "c:\local_web_site"   
   c. adds a favourites pointing to the PWS server in IE   
   d. starts PWS, opens IE and goes to the directory.   
      
   is this possible? the big question is the business of sniffing for a PWS,   
   installing if necessary, and adding the domain info.   
      
   tks
