Hi All,

Whenever I code in ASP I only use notepad. As such, I never create dll's and never use a development environment for the VBScript (I know this is bad pactice but I find it quicker).

I am now looking to convert a couple of simple asp applications (all they really do is alter strings) into standalone executables. Is this at all possible. I am thinking I need a development environment from but to my knowledge Miscrosoft's is the only way to go. Is this correct? If not, where can I get a very cheap/free one from?

I don't know about ASP, but PHP has libraries to run standalone with a GUI.

I've figured out that I think I need to download the "Visual Basic Development System", however, the microsoft website is like the tax man in a maze. I can't find it anywhere :(
