Short answer: Windows 7 includes IIS components but they are usually not turned on by default. asked whether IIS is installed and pointed to an install guide — the fastest check is Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off and look for "Internet Information Services". To run Classic ASP pages, the ASP feature must be explicitly enabled.

Recommended quick steps (local dev setup):

  1. Open Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off. Expand Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features and check ASP, plus ISAPI Extensions and ISAPI Filters if needed. Install.
  2. Launch Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager from Administrative Tools. Confirm the Default Web Site is started and its physical path (default: C:\inetpub\wwwroot).
  3. Ensure NTFS permissions for the site folder include IIS_IUSRS (or IUSR) with read/execute access.
  4. If old 32-bit COM components are used, set the application pool’s Advanced Settings -> Enable 32-Bit Applications = True.

Troubleshooting tips:

  • If gives 403/404, verify Default Document includes default.asp and the file exists in the webroot.
  • For 500 errors, enable detailed ASP errors in IIS Manager (ASP -> Debugging Properties -> Send Errors To Browser) for diagnosis, then check Event Viewer and logs in C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles.
  • If IIS fails to start, confirm no other app is bound to port 80 (Skype/VM software often does), and that the change was made with administrative rights.
  • Remember Classic ASP is different from ASP.NET; enabling the ASP feature is required for .asp pages.

Quick test page (drop into C:\inetpub\wwwroot as test.asp):

<%
Response.Write("Classic ASP is running. Server time: " & Now())
%>

Enabling detailed errors and 32-bit mode is fine for local development but avoid exposing detailed error information on public servers.
