I was installing .NET Academic and could not go forward with installing IIS
because I don't have the original OS CD. Is it critical that I have it for
the install and if so, is there a way around it. My pc is a few years old
and the CD got lost in a move.

IIS is only critical if you intend to develop ASP.NET web projects and
intend to use the local instance of IIS as your web server.
AFAIK, the only available source for IIS is your install CD, but I hope
somebody has an alternate possibility if you really need it.
