Classic ASP Not Installed by Default on IIS 7.0 and IIS 7.5


In IIS 7.0 and 7.5, the classic version of ASP is not installed by default. Because of this, you might see HTTP 404 errors when you try to browse to an ASP page on your server, or you might see the source code for your ASP page displayed in your browser window. Both of these error conditions are created when configuration settings that are used to define the environment for classic ASP are not installed.
To support and configure ASP applications on your Web server, you must install the ASP module. To install the ASP module on IIS 7.0 and IIS 7.5, use the following steps for your version of Windows.

Installing Classic ASP on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2

  1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
  2. In the Server Manager hierarchy pane, expand Roles, and then click Web Server (IIS).
  3. In the Web Server (IIS) pane, scroll to the Role Services section, and then click Add Role Services.
  4. On the Select Role Services page of the Add Role Services Wizard, select ASP.



5. If the Add role services required by ASP dialog box appears, click Add Required Role Services. (This page appears only if you have not already installed the ISAPI Extensions role service on your server.)


6. On the Select Role Services page, click Next.

7. On the Confirm Installation Selections page, click Install.

8. On the Results page, click Close.
