Hey.
I'm starting to learn ASP right now.
In my (its kind of old...) book there is instruction how to make an IIS on Windows XP which its something that allow you to see ASP files on your computer.
The only problem is I have Windows Vista (Starter) and I like to install it but I dont know how.
I mean, I entered Control Panel>Programms>Turn Windows Features on or off and then I installed all "Internet Information Service" and then I wrote a test file and I saved it into wwwroot and then I went to localhost/test.asp and its keeps giving me this error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Server Error in Application "Default Web Site"
HTTP Error 404.4 - Not Found
Description: The resource you are looking for does not have a handler associated with it.
Error Code: 0x80070002
Notification: MapRequestHandler
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/test.asp
Physical Path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\test.asp
Logon User: Anonymous
Logon Method: Anonymous
Handler: Not yet determined
Most likely causes:
- The file extension for the requested URL does not have a handler configured to process the request on the Web server.
What you can try:
- If the file extension does not have a handler associated with it, add a handler mapping for the extension.
- Verify that the handler associated with the file extension is properly installed and configured.
- Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
More Information...
This error means that the Web server does not recognize the file extension of the requested resource. A module handler is not configured on the Web server for this extension. If the file extension being denied is required by the Web server, add the appropriate handler for the file extension.
Server Version Information: Internet Information Services 7.0.

I downloaded more ASP files from the net but it seemed that the problem is not in my test file - something is wrong with this IIS.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks!
