Seting up Testing Server with DW8

Report · Nov 25, 2008

I have done the setup and tried to preview a file with an aspx extention.
It successfully copies the file into the testing folder (I guess that's a good thing) and then either opens the source code in IE or asks what to open it with in FireFox. It seems like it cannot find an executalble that is capable of translating the asp and converting to html. I know of no such executable. I've read alot of articles on setting it up and not one has said to have ASPTRANSLATOR.EXE in a certain directory and then point to it, as an example.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
