Following 's direction to stop hunting for an XP-era "i386" copy, here is a short, practical route to get the ASP runtime files you need on Windows 7. First confirm whether the site uses classic ASP (.asp) or ASP.NET (.aspx) — the fixes differ. Classic ASP is provided by an IIS feature you can enable in Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off > Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Application Development Features > ASP. The classic handler lives under %windir%\System32\inetsrv\asp.dll (on 64‑bit systems the 32‑bit handler is under %windir%\SysWOW64\inetsrv). (learn.microsoft.com)

If runtime files are missing or corrupted, run an elevated Command Prompt and use sfc /scannow to attempt repairs; SFC will replace protected system files from the component store when possible. If SFC cannot repair, either run the System Update Readiness tool for Windows 7 or pull the needed DLLs from the Windows 7 installation media: open the ISO/DVD, browse to \Sources\install.wim (or install.esd) and extract the right file version with 7‑Zip, or mount the WIM with DISM/ImageX and copy the files into the appropriate inetsrv folder. After restoring files, restart IIS with iisreset. (support.microsoft.com)

Suggested quick checklist for : (1) identify classic vs ASP.NET pages; (2) enable IIS/ASP and test a simple .asp page; (3) run sfc /scannow; (4) if needed extract the correct bitness DLL from install.wim and copy to the inetsrv folder; (5) restart IIS and retest. If manual file copies are uncomfortable, use the Windows 7 DVD to perform a Repair Install — that safely restores system components. These steps restore the runtime pieces directly, without attempting to copy an XP i386 tree. (learn.microsoft.com)

First, if you are looking for an accurate and quick reply, you should post in the correct forum category. With regard to your question, Windows XP was the last OS that used the I386 folder structure.

What ASP files are you looking for? Where they deleted? If they are corrupted or something similar you can always apply service pack 1, or perform a system repair.

Not exactly sure what you are saying, but I am gathering that you performed an in-place upgrade from XP to Windows 7 and you are looking for the I386 replacement.

so this MS blog article talks about some of the changes Vista and later: http://blogs.technet.com/b/askcore/archive/2008/09/17/what-is-the-winsxs-directory-in-windows-2008-and-windows-vista-and-why-is-it-so-large.aspx

So I am not clear why you need the source folder. Any changes you make on your system shouldnt prompt you for new files. There is no need to copy the "i386" folder to a Windows 7 operating system, like you did in the past with Windows XP or earlier.
