WinXP Home / IIS - unable to parse ASP error

Hello,

I am using WindowsXP Home Edition. According to the suggestion on 15 seconds (http://www.15seconds.com/issue/020118.htm), I installed IIS v5 on my system.

I tried http://localhost/ via Internet Explorer, it throws the "Http 500 Page cannot be displayed" error because the default page was an .asp page. So I created an index.html as the default document and it loads perfectly via http://localhost. Then I tried creating a simple <% response.write("Hello World") %> default ASP script, and it doesn't load. So, my system is not parsing ASP code, is there something that I missed installing or need to configure? please help.

All I'm trying to do is to install IIS on my system, so that my Visual InterDev will be able to create a new web app project.

Thank you very much in advance!

Sorry, IIS is not supported in XP home, at least not by me.

Try finding some users that have tried the kludge you have installed. Better yet, get XP Pro and use the correct OS for your work.
