Installing Sun Java System Active Server Pages

I am using a web host that ran every account on servers that were prepared for php, perl, and other languages besides asp. I had them move all of my account information over to a server that would run my asp pages. As I began writing I noticed that when I wrote vb scripts that they would not run at all. You can run som simple vbscript as far as showing the time <%write now%> as they explained to me in an example, but when I wrote a vbscript to control form validation it doesn't work at ll. They said that I would need to use "ChilliSoft ASP" from Sun, now called Sun One Active Server Pages. In the documentation it says that you can simply stop your IIS server and install the Sun One Active Server Pages application. So I stopped the IIS services and tried installing the Sun One app and it wouldn't install. What it does is displays a prompt asking you which web server to install the Sun One app on but there are no web servers displayed. Then I uninstalled IIS altogether and got the same results. So now I am at a road block. Basically I have a user input page with a form on it to gather some information. That form is posted to another page that requests the forms and is suppose to email me using vbscript. I know that the vbscript form validator is not working because if the user misses some required information I have a function within the vbscript that prompts the user telling them that they must submit the required information before they can continue. Then if the form is submitted, like I said, it gathers the information in some other vbscript, sends me an email with the requested information and the redirects the user back to the home page of the site. Currently the user can bypass entering anything, click "Submit Information" and the user is redirected back to the home page. So, the entire vbscript is being ignored. Therefore, tech support sent me here to use the developer examples but I'm still inoperable.

Thanks in advance for your time.

You must have either Sun Web Server 6.x or Apache 1.3.x/2.0.x installed on your Windows box prior to installing Sun Java System Active Server Pages 4.0.2.

ASP Server Windows install would normally automatically detect Sun Web Server 6.x and apache 1.3.x/2.0.x. There is also an option of choosing apache httpd.conf for non-standard apache web server installs.
