open .asmx file in IE

Hello everybody,

I make an ASP.NET Application with Visual Studio .NET,
then it is stored (as you might know) in the folder
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\appname\. The problem is that when I
open the .asmx file in IE, with the following URL
http://computername/appname/appname.asmx, IE asks me if I
want to downlaod the file or open it. And when I choose
open it opens the source code, but he just doesn't run
the script actually.
Does anybody know what I am doing wrong?

Best regards.

It sounds like ASP.NET and/or .NET framework is not
installed/enabled on the IIS server where your .aspx page
is deployed.

In IIS config on the server open properties/Directory-
tab, click "configuration" and check that the .aspx
extension maps to the aspnet_isapi.dll. If .aspx is not
listed, and .NET framework IS installed, try running
aspnet_regiis.exe (located in e.g.
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.x.xxxx).
