I'm trying to get an ASP plugin for Apache on windows. All the ones I've found have a plethora of support for Unix-like but scant information for Windows. I looked into Apache::ASP but all the links they gave suck. Whatever. I don't really need to find out soon since I'm working under someone else, but he usually does other stuff so he doesn't know either.

As you probably know, ASP is a server side scripting language developed my Microsoft that is included with its Internet Information Services (IIS) web server on all Windows Server operating systems and many Business class versions of Windows. 3rd part implementations were developed for *nix because Microsoft never developed any and people needed it in order to change their site written in ASP to a Linux host, or to allow those with Linux hosting to make use ASP written software. That being said, I don't know of any that are production quality because they are unofficial, are not in wide spread use, and do not typically have large development teams. As such they are typically used in "ah, fuck! We need to get they site up while we figure something out" type of situations. None have ever been developed for windows because frankly 98% of all sites hosted on windows are using IIS and a 3rd party, unstable interpreter doesn't make sense. And ASP really isn't that popular to begin with as the majority of dynamic websites hosted on windows use PHP. You either need to use IIS (yes I know MS is evil, but its not a bad server and its fairly easy to use), move to a Linux OS (apache runs better on it anyway) and use the ASP plugins available for it, or move to a more widespread, better supported language such as PHP, which default supports IIS on windows, Apache on Unix, Apache on windows, Apache on MacOS, Lighttpd (my favorite) on Linux, etc.

They're not going to throw down the money for IIS, it's a really small project. If my mentor doesn't figure it out I'll likely just be using his linux box for the back-end shit.

Do not tell me you are hosting this on Windows **** Home... *Facepalm* You have IIS if you have windows professional. Go Add and Remove Programs>Windows Components (or vista equivalent) and check the box that Says IIS, then you may need to insert the windows CD. And if I remember correctly, IIS comes with media center as well. The proof:
