This article was previously published under Q196248



For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 179264.



SYMPTOMS
When you use the Preview In Browser command in FrontPage, while previewing an Active Server Page (ASP), you will be prompted by the browser to save the ASP file.

IMPORTANT: If you are using Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 for Microsoft Windows NT Server or Personal Web Server version 4.0 or later, you already have the ASP engine installed. It is automatically installed as a part of the core Web server installation. In other words, the information in this article does not apply to you if you are using IIS 4.0 for Windows NT Server or Personal Web Server version 4.0 or later.



CAUSE
The Web server you are using may not have the ASP engine installed. For example, if you are using one of the following derivative IIS 2.0 or 3.0 (IIS) servers, you must install the ASP engine separately from the Web server:


 * IIS 2.0 or 3.0 for Windows NT Server.
 * Peer Web Services 1.0 for Windows NT Workstation.
 * Microsoft Personal Web Server 1.0 for Windows 95.



RESOLUTION
IMPORTANT: If you are not using one of the above mentioned servers, ASP will not install or function. Do not follow these instructions if your Web server is running IIS 4.0 or later or Personal Web Server version 4.0 or later, because ASP is already installed.

You can download the ASP engine for IIS 3.0 from the following Microsoft World Wide Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/iis3/Download2.asp?Prod=1

You can obtain the ASP engine for Microsoft Personal Web Server 1.0 from the FrontPage 98 CD. The patch ASP.exe is located under the following path on the CD:
