1If you just want to know how to run classic asp on whatever version of IIS you use then Google is your friend. Questions on here need to be much more specific and ideally accompanied with examples of code – John Aug 04 '14 at 14:38

thank you, i followed the steps, created a pool where i put my ASP website in it. But then how can I open it on the browser ? – Nourhene Aug 04 '14 at 10:57

for example if your file is 'my_first-asp-page.asp' and save the file to a directory accessible through your web server (this will usually be, 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot', on IIS or PWS with a default install). To display the page open your web browser and type 'http://my_computer/my_first-asp-page.asp', where 'my_computer' is replaced with the name of the computer – Ankita Aug 05 '14 at 08:56
