new W2000 Server Pro system - ASP missing

[John Wood]

I have recently loaded up a new Dell Server with Win2000 Server Pro
Just a "standard install"
IIS and FTP seem to be working fine
.....\system32\inetsrv seems to be populated, including asp.dll
the ASP and ASA files have the windows icon not the ASP icon
selecting the ASP file does not run it but bring up the "OPEN WITH?"
menu

Is ASP included with the standard W2000 ?
I do not see it as a separate install on the CD
any help appreciated
TIA

What you describe is normal. Maybe the thing you don't realize is that for
the ASP pages to run, you have to go to http://servername/pagename.asp, as
opposed to opening the .asp file from the file system.

I can't ever get into a good groove until after midnight. That doesn't work
out to well with my 8:30-5:00 hours. :[
