Invalid Default Script Language

[Elmo Watson]

I have IIS installed on my computer (XP pro) - - I have the DotNet Framework
installed - -
ASP.net runs fine - but any time I run even the simplest Classic ASP
script/page, I get the following error:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0201'

Invalid Default Script Language

The default script language specified for this application is invalid.

I've tried adding Language=VBscript at the top of the page
I've gone into IIS - the default language is VBScript - I've tried changing
it to Javascript and back again - no luck.
Tried re-registering the asp.dll and others, like scrrun.dll, just because
someone on the net suggested it.
IIS Reset - nothing

I've tried numerous other things - but no luck still - -

any ideas?

Does this help (see the KB article)?

Yep - done it all -
put :
<% language="VBScript"%>
even tried without the double quotes and removing it altogether
Went into IIS - made VBScript the default scripting language (which comes up
by default anyway)
Another suggestion was to change to Javascript - open it up again and change
it back to VBScript - did that too.

Installed 5.6 of the scripting engine

all to no avail. It still doesn't work - - I am down to a page with only:
<%
response.Write ("whatever")
%>

Nothing - same error.

Am I the only one who's had this problem and can't get it fixed?

It would help if the @ were included to indicate this is a directive:

<%@ Language=VBScript %>

Sorry - - I've seen this - - it doesn't work either - - I've changed it in
the page - I've changed it in IIS
I've re-registered the asp.dll

so far -- nothing tried has fixed the problems
