Windows 7 will not allow FrontPage extenstions?

L

Larry

I ran the Windows 7 upgrade test on my system. For Frontpage it gave the
following:

Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002
version 10.0.2701.0
Microsoft Corporation
Uninstall first
You need to uninstall this program before upgrading to Windows 7. You won't
be able to install it after upgrading to Windows 7.

I am running FrontPage 2000. Can I presume this means that Win7 will not
allow Frontpage extensions at all?

Tom Willett

It will not allow that version of FP extensions. MS has farmed out the
extensions to:

So I presume ALL Frontpage users are SOL for an upgrade to Windows 7, for a
theoretically better version than Vista?
Would there be a version of the extensions that is allowed?

They would certainly be SOL unless/until RTR makes extensions for Win7.
When/If there will be any further extensions development for other O/S? Who

Any reason why you can't use a disc-based web? A disc based web located in
the wwwroot folder would work if you tested pages using
tp://localhost/ - except for those pages that require extensions (forms).
For those who don't need a server for testing FrontPage works perfectly on
Windows 7, so not EVERY FrontPage user is SOL.

I already use localhost for FrontPage testing. I use the extensions for
online forms. I've tried using Perl on a Dreamweaver web that uses forms and
was able to get it to work but it is difficult to work with. Does not
provide the type of completion page you can easily design with FrontPage, or
if it can I haven't figured out how yet :)- ]
If there is a better form handler than Perl could you please let me know?

I will "hang in there" with XP for a while I guess.

Almost anything is better than Perl - I've used it.

What you use depends on where (which server - Unix or Windows) your site is
eventually hosted on, and what your host supports.
On Windows servers you can use "classic" asp, asp.NET or PHP. On Unix
usually only PHP, but some support asp and a tiny number support asp.NET.
You can download a Windows version of PHP and use that for testing. In
addition, Expression Web has some support for PHP which is lacking in
FrontPage.

I had the same issues when I bought a Vista PC with not being able to use FPExtensions. However, I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and WinXP and it works great. I also use DeskSpace and assigned MVPC2007 to Desktop 4 so that it is in its own space. It's not a hassle as much as another step to do what I want to do. I now have a Win7 laptop that (unfortunately) came with Home Premium so I cannot use VM. However, I have read that MVPC2007 can be installed and used with Win7 as in Vista. Haven't tried it yet, but worth a try for anyone in our situation.

Yeah, the old VirtualPC 2007 still works fine in Windows 7. You just

They (Microsoft) chaff my undershorts.

Windows 7 will not work with Frontpage - I hope dreamweaver does, because that's what I am switching to.

Never will I buy a Microsoft product again when some one else has something similar.

the wwwroot folder would work if you tested pages usin

For those who do not need a server for testing FrontPage works perfectly o
Windows 7, so not EVERY FrontPage user is SOL.

I already use localhost for FrontPage testing.
I already use localhost for FrontPage testing. I use the extensions for
online forms. I have tried using Perl on a Dreamweaver web that uses forms and
was able to get it to work but it is difficult to work with. Does not
provide the type of completion page you can easily design with FrontPage, or
if it can I have not figured out how yet :)- ]
If there is a better form handler than Perl could you please let me know?

I will "hang in there" with XP for a while I guess.

Almost anything is better than Perl - I have used it.
Almost anything is better than Perl - I have used it.

What you use depends on where (which server - Unix or Windows) your site is
eventually hosted on, and what your host supports.
On Windows servers you can use "classic" asp, asp.NET or PHP. On Unix
usually only PHP, but some support asp and a tiny number support asp.NET.
You can download a Windows version of PHP and use that for testing. In
addition, Expression Web has some support for PHP which is lacking in
FrontPage.

MVPC2007 on Win7
I had the same issues when I bought a Vista PC with not being able to use FPExtensions. However, I installed Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and WinXP and it works great. I also use DeskSpace and assigned MVPC2007 to Desktop 4 so that it is in its own space. It's not a hassle as much as another step to do what I want to do. I now have a Win7 laptop that (unfortunately) came with Home Premium so I cannot use VM. However, I have read that MVPC2007 can be installed and used with Win7 as in Vista. Haven't tried it yet, but worth a try for anyone in our situation.

Since MS FrontPage is out of support and no longer being made, you can't
expect it to always work everywhere. On the other hand, Dreamweaver is not
out of support. But, make sure it actually works with Windows 7.
