Is there any program that will make IIS work in Vista? Or do I need to get one of those addons for Apache to make ASP work? =/

ASP for Apache is not compatible with the MS versions so a lot of things won't work.
You could upgrade to a different Vista version, or install Win2k or XP instead.

Maybe he was confused and thought you meant the Basic programming language? Forrest is kind of an idiot. 
What you want to do is not install a different operating system ( at $400 a pop?) since there are like 18 flavors of Vista. Instead, we're gonna bypass IIS altogether.
One traditional way to do that is have a development server, which a lot of people just use the live sever as. I don't know about you, but I don't like playing Russian Roulette. What if you could run a mini-IIS and get your ASP.NET to run on your personal Windows machine.
Visual Web Developer Express is a Microsoft product, and a free one, that's an Integrated Development Environment or IDE. It lets you type out code, has all the great stuff like highlighting, error detecting, you can hover the mouse over a variable and get more info, there's a debugger, all that stuff you would expect. There's also a test server, something that will actually run your code.
Then once it's ready and perfect, you upload it to your real server with the latest IIS. But if you make a mistake, you didn't break the site. |

Only runs .net code though
I played with Baby Web Server briefly, some time ago, didn't find any problems as I recall.

Cool,
Try the visual studio developer express and use the file based web project, that will help you develop web apps and test'em there.

IIS can run ASP and it can run ASP.NET but it can also run them both, like a split application. So the .NET only version is incomplete for a lot of legacy sites. If you're starting from scratch unless the customer wants ASP Classic you're good to go tho. |

Baby Web Server runs ASP then? Not .NET, right? I'm good at PHP, but I just want to see what I can do in ASP. Nothing special, just toying around.

coolkbk85: IIS can run ASP in Windows Vista Home Premium (not sure about Basic, but I suspect the steps are the same).
If you click the ASP section within IIS administration, you'll see a series of boxes under Properties. One of these is "Enable", and for some stupid reason it's set to False by default. Set it to True, and you're done.

No. That's not the problem. It's not running static pages either...
This is a post I made on IIS.NET about it, and this is a link to another thread that someone gave me.
Apparently Basic doesn't come with something that it needs.

That's pretty common with Microsoft. Vista Basic doesn't need IIS, you do; and for that you need to send a few hundred over to Paul Allen. You can use John's free test server, but only for .net pages; you can use the free version of sql server, but only if your entire database with indexes comes to 4 gb or less. Microsoft likes issuing teasers and forcing people to spend 50 % more for 15 % more functionality. Really not that different from Canon or Nikon.
XP pro comes with IIS, but only lets you run one web site on it. |

Not that many people will know who Paul Allen is without a Google search
Unless of course they have heard of "Traf-O-Data"

Hey "Learning Newbie", thanks for the heads up re Visual Web Developer Express. I was looking for something to use to learn .NET - no excuses now!
