We recently comissioned a website that is using .asp pages.

now I have the website in my posession and would like to use it for some demonstration purposes as well as online.

I have the database and all files on my laptop, however when our developer tried to run it using IIS it didn't work as I'm running XP home (I'm a cheap bugger..) and apparently it only runs on XP Pro..

Our developer is a bit stumped and I was hoping that someone here may be able to point me in the direction of some software that will run on Home and give correct results when trying to view .asp pages..

Any help greatly appreciated. I've looked on the web and all I can find is mostly stuff for XP Pro :P

The official answer here is that IIS does not WORK on Home.
IIS is the WebServer, so you're buggered.

Not sure if it handles .asp but you could try

I use it for off-line viewing and demo's

Is it ASP or ASPX (.NET)?

If it's aspx you can use the cassini personal web server, available at www.gotdotnet.org

Alternatively if you're really stuck try something like renaming it to .vbs, and run the output to a text file.
