R – Classic ASP with Expression Web 2 and Vista

asp-classicexpression-webwindows-vista

I have previously used Expression Web with XP and MS Server 2003 and in each case I am able to preview .asp pages in the browser.

I have now transferred to Vista and get the error "this page may contain dynamic content that requires a Web server…."
On the other hand should I wish to preview an HTML page there is no problem.

I am aware that Expression does not support Classic ASP IntelliSense, but I can live with that…..if I have to.

It seems that the (HTML) pages you are able to preview are not being served by a web server.

Are you able to confirm that they are being presented on the http (http://...) protocol and not the local file protocol (file:///...)?

There is no straigthforwad solution for sharing session variables between classic ASP and ASP.NET. I would recommend you to persist sessions into a database, like it is described in this Microsoft Article. This way both ASP and ASP.NET can access session variables.

Asp – Classic ASP not working on Windows Vista IIS7

It works for me once I added ASP under Programs and Features without any issues.. One thing I noticed is a checkbox to "enable server side includes" so if your ASP app has that, you may want to check that off.

You also may want to check security settings but I didn't have any issues with that either.

I wrote a very complex ASP page with the following source code for a test
