Whatever Happened to FrontPage Express?

[jim evans]

In the past I have suggested friends who are completely new to webpage
making use FrontPage Express to create their first page.

I suggested that to a friend yesterday and we were unable to find it
on his computer. I kept saying, "It has to be here somewhere. It
comes with Internet Explorer." But we never found it.

A google search indicates it no longer comes with IE. Shame!!

I found a few personal websites where it can be downloaded but I don't
know if they have the latest version and I worry a little whether
these unknown sources could contain an ugly.

Does somebody know where I can get a copy of the latest version before
MS stopped releasing it?

If you can find it somewhere, you might as well consider it "the latest
version." It hasn't been included with Windows in at least 5 years.

It is not longer available from Microsoft nor is it supported. It is also not a legal download from
any web site.

It is still the property of Microsoft Corporation whether it is/was free, still doesn't give other
the right to distribute it.

You can find this with Internet Explorer versions before 5.5.

I remember first running into it with Win 98 Start >> Programs >> Accessories

Here is a link for info about how to obtain and locate fpx.

Huge stone is lying on a patch of land. Does not use it, nor lets others use that patch of land. Yet some people come, move the stone and use it.
