get old asp to work with asp.net

[Scott]

I have recently installed asp.net 2.0 on my IIS 5.0. I am learning
asp.net with web developer which works fine. ALL the asp on the servre
now no longer works (500 server error). How do I restore the
functionality without un-installing asp.net?

Frankly, I can't believe Microsoft would leave this issue unhandled in
their installation program, then again, we ARE dealing with Microsoft.

Microsoft didn't "leave the issue unhandled", there is simply something wrong
with your setup. Classic ASP should work fine whether the .NET Framework is
installed or not. Check your IIS Settings. The ".asp" extension should be
mapped to asp.dll.

Indeed and, if it isn't, asp.dll can be re-registered with regsvr32.

Installation, when it goes awry, may have multiple problems/symptoms as consequences.

If re-registering asp.dll doesn't work as a fix, you may have to uninstall/re-install IIS.

Frankly, I'd do that anyway, as dealing with an installation problem may turn out
to be a bear of a task, while uninstalling/reinstalling IIS takes but a few minutes.
