Answer 1

You don't necessarily need a solution file. Did you do what was in the 'Setup instructions.txt'? Looks to me it wants you to add it to an existing installation of IIS. Follow the steps in this file. From there, you can do an 'Open > Web Site' from VS. Select the web (you will probably need to config it as an application) and you can debug it from there.

Don't forget to update the common/ado/connection_open.asp as referenced in the setup instructions.

Answer 2

Looks like a Classic ASP project to me, not dotNET at all.
