Using ODBC with classic ASP in IIS

I have a website developed in classic ASP with ADO. Basically, the IIS in Windows 10 (64 Bits) still supports running ASP. You will able to run ASP pages after installing the IIS with ASP enabled.

Go to Control Panel > Program > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or of > Internet Information Service > World Wide Web Services > ASP

It is now all set for ASP pages.

However, there is still one more thing to do for running a ASP page with ODBC connection. 

Working with 64-bit Systems

Unfortunately there are no 64-bit ODBC drivers, so on 64-bit systems you will have to run your applications in 32-bit mode. To do so, use the following steps:

1. On the taskbar, click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. In the Connections pane, click Application Pools.
3. Highlight the application pool for your application, then click Advanced Settings... in the Actions pane.
4. In the Advanced Settings dialog, specify True for Enable 32-Bit Applications.
5. Click OK to close the Advanced Settings dialog.

It is all done.

The use of ASP pages will be supported on Windows 8 for a minimum of 10 years from the Windows 8 release date.

Active Server Pages (ASP) enables Web servers to dynamically generate Web pages and create interactive Web applications by using server-side scripting technology. The use of ASP pages with Internet Information Services (IIS) is currently supported on all supported versions of IIS.

CodeReady

CodeReady is database client + ASP page generator written in Visual Basic in 2005.  I published the program to download.com at the end of 2006. I created a video for demonstrating function and features

The program can still run on Windows 8.1, troublefree!
