Config IIS7 for basic ASP?

Hi, all! Just installed IIS7 under Vista Business (RTM), and I'm
trying to drop on a very simple ASP website I'm working on (Access
database via file DSN).

First, it looks like the ASP MIME type isn't registered; is there a
document that details what steps are required after installing IIS7 to
get ASP working? Already went through what docs I could find, but
nothing has worked so far.

Second, in general, are there any docs or CORRECT blogs out there that
give hints or instructions on getting IIS7 up and working under Vista?
Already searched KB, ASP.Net, etc.

Thanks
Jack

Sounds like you did not install ASP.

On IIS5.1(XP Pro) and IIS5(W2K), ASP was always installed and enabled.
On IIS6, ASP was always installed but not enabled.

IIS7 is componentized. Very few things are selected to install even
when you install IIS - for security reasons, you don't "get
everything" when you select to install IIS7.

Make sure to select the ASP component at IIS install-time. It's not
installed nor enabled by default. I'm not aware of any documentation
of how to install/enable ASP by hand, but I doubt it needs to exist.
You just need to remember to install the ASP component, and it'll do
all that for you.

ASP MIME type is not supposed to be registered. You want ASP pages to
execute, not download source file.
