I'm not sure i understand what you try to do.
Do you wan't to check/edit the sourde of your asp-pages? Do you want to run the asp's on your own machine (offline)?

What OS are you using?

[oracleguy]

If you have NT4/2K/XP you can use IIS (Internet Information Services) which is free and included in the OS.

With 9x you can use PWS (Personal Web Server) which is free too.

hi
all i wanna know is to run my ASP website on my pc.offline ..what software i need.i heard personal webserver .from where can i get it? is ther any other alternative?smaller size i mean

PWS is the smallest webserver to run ASP pages.

It's included in some windowsversions (so you can install it from the windows-cd) or else you can download it for free (just run a search in this forum or google for it).

But i'd recommend buying a Windows Professional or getting IIS from somewhere. PWS is really only usefull for development ...

I like that quote. You don't know where to get it, but you do know it's way too big.

IIS and PWS are free and included with the corresponding operating systems.

Yes, it would really be helpful to know what he's running. Then we'd have a bit more of a clue about where to send him.

That's my question... what is your Operating System? Without knowing that, we cannot provide you with the best answer. :)

If it happens to be Windows ME (god forbid), you can install PWS straight off of a Windows 98 disk, and it will work just fine, although you won't be able to use some components (like CDONTS).

i am using windows 98..but it is not on full disc..it is zipped..so intalling from Cd is not possible so that is why i came to net.

Unzip it and install PWS.

If you have to download it, this is where you need to be http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/nts/downloads/recommended/NT4OptPk/win95dl.asp 25 MB shouldn't take long at all from a high bandwidth server like Microsoft.

I don't know of any alternatives and at some point you'll probably need to the ASP engine that is part of PWS anyways.
