Default How can I run ASP 3 on Windows XP 3?

I'm running Windows XP sp3 and I'm trying to test my ASP application and the ones from the Beginning Active Server Pages 3.0 book. I downloaded and installed IIS 7 Express, but the ASP still doesn't seem to work. The ASP pages just open up and display the text when called from a form. From the documentation about IIS 7, it appears to have been designed only to support ASP.NET and PHP.

How can I get regular ASP to run on Windows XP 3?

Thanks.

I must say im surprised to see someone learning classic ASP. You do realize we officially called old dinosaurs? Anyhow to help a fellow dinosaur...

Does installing sp3 on XP upgrade IIS 6 to IIS 7? Dont focus on sp3, its the version of IIS you need to focus on. by default 7 has ASP disabled by default. It is well documented the three or four things you ned to do to get it running. You need to:

turn on the ASP feature on and create a role
create classic ASP application pool
enable parent paths
send error to bowser
turn off freindly IE errors

All about it:
