I have attempted start serving out .aspx files, but the browsers 
attempting to do so are being asked if they want to 'save' or 'open'. I 
understand I need to add the xspisapi.dll.

QUESTION: where is this file ?  In the Windows folder, there is 
microsoft.net\framework\v.1.0.3705. That is the only structure, and 
nowhere is the xspisapi.dll. 

Any help would be appreciated.

sounds like asp.net hasn't installed properly.  You need to have IIS running
when you install the .Net Framework/VS.Net, otherwise the file type mappings
are not set within IIS.

IIS will just spit out the .aspx files as it sees them - it won't process
them into HTML.  That's why your user's browsers are asking them to save the
file etc.  The browser looks at the MIMI headers to determine the file type,
not the extension.

Search the list for how to run the regiis.exe program - there have been
loads of posts regarding this.  (I think that's the name of it anyhow)

HTH,
