ASP.NET and IIS Server.

[Abhijeet]

I have Windows 2000 OS with SP1. How to make the IIS
server to work with ASP.NET? Currently the IIS works fine
with the ASP applications but not with aspx. I do not
have .Net studio installed on my machine.

When I try to access any aspx page, it opens it like a
text file in browser. The aspnet_wp.exe file is not
present on my system.

I want to run asp.net pages on the system. Does this need
the .Net studio to be installed (which will upgrade the
IIS) or do I need anything separate to upgrade my IIS
Server?

Assuming that you've installed the .NET Framework runtime
you need to run the following command line:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705
\aspnet_regiis.exe

Please note that this assumes v1.0 of the framework,
otherwise, select the appropriate version directory.

HTH,
Gaz

You need to install at least the dotNET distributable
(about 23 MB)

You can find it here:

The installation is very easy, normally you don't even have
to reboot.
