The .NET Framework does not compile "classic ASP" pages. ASP is a server technology that must be run on IIS. ASPX pages are based the .NET Framework and can be compiled either by IIS (if ASP.NET Framework is installed) or on the local machine in Visual
Web Developer. You can't use VWD to compile ASP because ASP is not based on the .NET Framework.
The best thing to do is create a new site and migrate over functionality from your old site page by page. It will be more work than a copy-and-paste.
