Well, Check Server Extensions opens a new window called Check Web and then
immediately opens a box asking me if I want to Frontpage to tighten security
as much as possible for all Frontpage Webs.
Recalculate Web simply brings up a box that tells me that the recalculation
was complete successfully.
And the Remove Server Extensions gives me a block that warns me that
removing the Frontpage Server Extensions does not delete content files but
will make this web an all child webs invisible to Microsoft Front Page User
and ask me if I want to continue.

What happens when you try:
Check Server Extensions
Recalculate Web
and then finally
Remove Server Extensions

Thomas A. Rowe said:1. Windows XP Pro comes with the FP2000 extensions.
2. The Version 3.0/ bin folder is part of the Windows OS and has nothing to do with using FP.
3. The last version of the extensions are FP2002, which are no longer available for downloading.
When use open IIS MMC and right click on the default Web and select All Tasks, what options do
you
see?

Yeah, I'm doing both at once. I've tried several times now and nothing changes.
I tell you one thing I've discovered is that if I look at Properties for the
install that I'm trying to use (located in the Program Files/Microsoft
Frontpage/Version 3.0/bin "file name: fpsrvwin") it says that it's Frontpage
2000 but System Information, located in my All Programs/Accessories/System
Tools/System Info/Office 2003 Applications says I'm that there is Frontpage
2003 installed. Obviously, it's not installed but that's what it says. So, I
gather from that, that I'm trying to install Frontpage 2000 with Frontpage
2003 extensions and that's why I keep getting the message that there is a
newer version on the computer and that I need to go to Server Extensions
Administrator to configure them, which I've done but it didn't make Frontpage
appear.
Also, I found, in my quest, a program called Microsoft Office Publisher
2003. Could that be some kind of replacement for Frontpage or are they two
separate things?
Listen, thanks for y'alls help. I'd really like to get this program
installed and I figure there's an easy solution to the problem I'm having but
I've been run around in circles so many times by this program that I'm brain
dead, out of ideas. I appreciate y'all carrying on this thread so long to
help me figure it out.

When you re-installed IIS, did you also select to install the FP extensions?

Well, I don't have a link to Server Administrator under Administer Tools but
if you're talking in specific about Server Extensions Administrator, then I
can access that from my All Programs menu but haven't been able to get it to
help me out.
I've tried uninstalling IIS, rebooting and then reintalling IIS with the
Windows XP CD in the CD ROM but still, the same results. I don't know, like I
said, I'm at a loss. I'm beat and will have to abandon the effort unless
anyone else can figure it our. I do, however, wonder if the problem is with
an update I've taken in prior to trying to install Frontpage.

Look under Control Panel | Admin Tools | Server Admin.
If your server is Windows 2003, then you can only install the FPSE from the Windows 2003 CD

Well, I tried that but it didn't work. No matter what I do, it tells me that
there are newer server extensions on this machine and that I need to use the
server extension administrator to configure them but it has no affect at all.
I'm at a complete loss. The version of Frontpage that's in my Program Files
folder, that I'm trying to install, says it's 2000 but System info says it's
2003. I suspect that what System info means is that the extensions are for
2003. And since they didn't come from the Server 2003 disc, I have no idea
where they came from.All I know is that because they're there, I can't
install Frontpage.

OK, well, that's great. So, how would I get those off of my computer? System
Restore, maybe?

You can indeed install FP 2003 on Windows XP.
There is no FP 2003 on the Windows Server 2003 Disk. There *are* FP 2002
Server Extensions on the disk that are proprietary to Windows Server 2003.
So, if that's what you've installed, that's probably your problem.
Uninstalling Office won't have any effect on FrontPage, as they are separate
programs.

| Alright. I think I figured out what the problem is. I found a link to
System
| Info in my All Programs list. It says that I have Frontpage 2003 installed
| (but then it says its not installed. go figure). In my book, Windows XP
| Inside and Out, it says that you can not install Frontpage 2003 with
Windows
| XP. Now, I know how this happened but I can't seem to reverse it. I have a
| Server 2003 disc and I was fooling around with it and I think I might have
| installed Frontpage from that disc. The problem now is that I can't
uninstall
| something that technically isn't installed. I mean, Frontpage doesn't show
up
| in Add/Remove Programs because technically, it isn't installed because it
| can't be installed with XP. You know what I mean? So, do I now have to
| uninstall Office in order to get rid of Frontpage 2003? Or would that even
| work? I don't know. Man, this is messed up.
