Any page that uses server-side scripting needs to be first processed by the
server. So, if you want to preview these pages locally, you need to be
running IIS on your computer. Place your site in the WWWROOT folder and then
view the files via localhost:

http://localhost/yourFile.asp

Or place the site anywhere you want on your hard drive, enable web sharing
for the root folder, and use the alias name in your Testing server's URL
prefix field.....
