One of the challenges of running IIS on your own server vs.

running it in the cloud

is that you need to install the components you need manually, and it can sometimes
be tricky figuring out what needs to be installed to get the functionality you
need. For example, in IIS, 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, use the following steps for your
version of Windows.
