Where did FrontPage Express go?

Bill Englehardt

Hi All,
I'm interesed in making a first attempt at setting up a
web site. I've read about FpX being a free tool
available with Win98 and it seems like a reasonable,
free, place to start. However I can't find any reference
to in on my new XP machine & no links at MS that would
allow me to download it. Its as if its been totally
discontinued which seem surprising.

Do the following to get Front Page Express:-

Take out an old Magazine disc that has IE 5.0 on it (or below) and do a
search for this file!

Fpesetup.cab

Once you have found it, open it up with WinZip and extract all the files to
a new directory of your choice, and then double click on the fpxpress.exe
file in the directory you extracted all the files to and you will have a
copy of FPE.

So you can have IE 5.5 and a free version of FrontPage!

NOTE: The 'file new' command and 'help' do not work with installing FPE in
this manner. You are not going to miss the help so don't worry about it. For
further help with FPE check out the rest of the FPE section on AccessFP.
As for the 'File new' command just make a blank .htm file and then click
file open, open the blank .htm and make your page with it. It works just as
good as 'File New'.

Ok, great tip & thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm
sorry but what, where, is a "Magazine" disk.

Thanks again,

You will need to find a MS application that has IE5 included or a computer
magazine that have "free" CD of software with IE 5 included.
