Inquiry about ASP 3.0 Support in Latest Version of IIS

Question

Good day,

Will Active Server Pages 3.0 still work with the latest version of IIS?

Additionally, if ASP 3.0 is no longer supported, any recommendations or alternatives will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Active Server Pages (ASP) is supported in all versions of Internet Information Services (IIS) that are currently supported by Microsoft. However, starting from IIS 6.0, ASP became an optional component.

Even though Microsoft's support for ASP has reached new levels of maturity with ASP.NET in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and above, it is still possible to install and use classic ASP with the latest version of IIS. In other words, it is still possible to use Active Server Pages 3.0.

If you need an alternative to Active Server Pages, one alternative that you might consider is ASP.NET Core, which is a free, open-source, and cross-platform web framework for building modern, cloud-based web applications.
