Help! ASP pages don't open with IIS (local files) IE6 and WinXP

[kriani]

Hello everyone,
I can't open ASP documents with Windows XP Pro SP2
IE6.0 + IIS 5.0. When I click an ASP file, it's macromedia mx 2004 that
opens it. If I choose Open With... Internet Explorer, nothing opens.
And if
I can have an ASP page open in IE, if there is a link to another ASP
page,
when I click it, it doesn't open that ASP link, instead IE asks if I
want to
download the file. The http://localhost/ is working fine.

I have ZoneAlarm Security Suite installed and tweaked it to high
security settings. Dont know where this is blocking Asp files to be
opened by IE.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Did you install IIS after you installed the .Net framework? If so, .Net is not properly registered with IIS.

If not, to fix this on Windows XP, run this command from the Start>Run box or a command prompt (assuming the system directory is C:\Windows):

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
