ASP, ASP.NET, Personal Web Servers, and Windows XP Home After discovering that WinXP Home does not support MS Personal Web Server or IIS, I was in a quandary on how to work on ASP pages on a WinXP Home PC.

After Googling around on and off for a few days, I located the following easy to setup and reliable solutions:

• For ASP install Abyss Web Server XI (freeware) and Selisoft's Active HTML Extensions (shareware)
• For ASP.NET install Cassini ASP.NET Web Server (freeware: requires .NET Framework 1.1)

For developing web pages accessing MS Access databases try these applications:

• ASP: DBQwikSite v2.5.2 (Sponsored Version is free)
• ASP.NET: Microsoft's free ASP.NET Web Matrix (requires .NET Framework 1.1)

Google searches will quickly locate download sites for all these applications.
