Hi All,

Does anyone know of an ASP compliant web server that can be installed and run on windows XP Home edition?

Regards

PWS ?

Easy to find out, no ? But this webserver should only be used for developping purposes (according to Microsoft) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnbegvb/html/howtosetuppwsonyourmachine.asp

Or, if you really wan't to save some bucks and are willing to do almost anything for that, you can install appach, learn Perl, use Perl as scrinting language in ASP and then install the special component (Apache::ASP) to run ASP's with Perl on Apache.

Sounds like a bit more than I'd be wiling to do to save $50 or so.

IIS 5.0 isn't included with WinXP Home? How very very rude of Microsoft.

Here's a guide about how to attempt installing IIS with XP Home. It's pretty long and sloppy though. I wouldn't want to try it.

The average game-playing, web-surfing home user has no need for web development. I guess they figure if they can charge $1000 or more for Visual Studio .NET, they can charge and extra $50-$60 for XP Pro to allow you have a development environment.
