You should look for the asp.dll file. Make sure that it is fully installed on your system. That's the only thing I could think of that would cause your system not to render ASP files.

Oh! and check to make sure that your W3 service is started.

hi,
make sure you are not trying to just double click your asp file and hope that it works in your browers, you can't view asp pages in this way.

You need to open up your browers and type one of these following into your browers address bar.
You need to also make sure you store your pages in the correct place, normally defaulted to:

c:/inetpub/wwwroot/



http://localhost/yourpage.asp
or
http://wwwroot/yourpage.asp
or
http://yourIPaddress/yourpage.asp

Hope this helps

hi,
is IIS installed running and the page you want to view is located in c:/inetput/wwwroot/yourfileshouldbehere.asp.

To view the page open your browser first then type in one of the 3 above url's i posted:



http://localhost/yourpage.asp
or
http://wwwroot/yourpage.asp
or
http://yourIPaddress/yourpage.asp


If you do all this and its still not working what kind of error are you getting?
Can you describe the procedures your are taking a bit more?

hi,


going on..i got iis 5 install, asp suppose to be install automatic.


IIS is NOT installed automatically, it does come with windows 2000, windows xp pro & corp but you still have to install it seperate from windows. Put back in your windows disk while at desktop and got to install addons or install extras(something like that) and then you install IIS.

Hope this helps
