Running XP Pro with IIS & FP extensions (v.6.0.2.5516) installed.

I cannot create new webs as I get a message indicating that I need sharepoint services installed. This seems absurd as sharepoint requires Win Server 2003.

If I work with the web using the local directory, all hyper links are set to either file:///blah.html or c://localpath/blah.html rather than the virtual path relative to the root.

Thoughts on these problems?
 
With Windows XP Pro, you can only have a single root web, all additional web
must be subwebs under the root web and that you are opening the site under
http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 or http://machinename.

With a disk-based web, make sure you have the site open first using File
Menu | Open Site before working with any content, and that all content has
been imported into the current open FP web.

The rootweb is pointed to the local folder on disk, however I cannot create any new sites under that root without the error message regarding the sharepoint services.

You need to be working with either
- Disc Based Sites/Webs opened w/ say: C:\MYWEbFolderPath\
- Server based Sites/Webs opened w/ http://localhost/ under the FP SE
do not open your FP SE local hosted site as a disc based web
(usually it is in \C:\Inetpub\wwwroot but)

Found the issue. IISLockdown was incorrectly configured and was preventing the extensions from operating.

Thanks
