Classic ASP is installed as part of Internet Information Services, which can be installed from the Add/Remote Windows Components option (in the Add/Remove programs dialog box)

tigermatt said it best:

>>> Classic ASP is installed as part of Internet Information Services

Install IIS, and you are installing ASP.  The link I posted provides instructions for how to do it.  I would recommend you look at it.

you want to say that if i got IIS installed i can double click on any *.asp file and run it?

 

by: routinetPosted on 2008-03-10 at 14:58:43ID: 21090859

No.  If you have IIS installed, and ASP has been enabled, then any ASP page served by your web server will run as coded.

When you double-click on an ASP file locally, that file will be opened by the default handler specified in Windows.  For ASP, it could be FrontPage, or a text editor, or whatever else.  Instead of double-clicking on a file, you would browse to it through your local server:

http://localhost/filename.asp

What version of Windows are you running?  If you are running 2000, 2003 or XP Pro you can simply install IIS, if you want to run IIS on XP it can be done but requires a little work, I did this last year on a OEM laptop for script testing prior to upgrading it to Pro.  Rade here, http://adamv.com/dev/articles/iis-on-xp-home for details.

I think what you want to do Start -> Run C:\inetpub\wwwroot and OK. Or Open My Computer and browse to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot and creat a new folder. Name it whatever you want to call your website (you may name mysite or whatever). Then Put all you asp files inside this folder.

Then Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Internet Information Services

Then on the left pane, you'd see your computer name under Internet Information Services.
Click the + beside your computername to expand it.
After that, expand WEB SITES.
Next, rightclick DEFAULT WEB SITE, go to NEW and choose VIRTUAL DIRECTORY

Click Next and in ALIAS, type any name your like and click NEXT
Broswe to the folder you created earlier on (mysite)
Click Next until you see FINISH.
Click FINISH

Now open internet explorer and type http://localhost and it will open provided there is an index.htm, default.htm in mysite

You may righclick DEFAULT WEB SITE as above and choose PROPERTIES. Click the documents tab and use ADD to add your home page to the list default documents.

Good luck.
