FrontPage Server Extensions on 64-bit Windows Server 2008 |
| How do I install FrontPage Server extensions on my 64-bit Windows Server 2008? |
| by Zubair Alexander |
3/10/2010 -- A lot of people, especially those who are relatively new to managing and editing Web sites, use Microsoft FrontPage. More experienced people prefer other tools, such as Dreamweaver, Microsoft SharePoint Designer or even Expression Web because they do a much better job of editing HTML pages than FrontPage.
Once you’ve upgraded your Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 (WS08) you may realize that the IIS 7.0 in WS08 no longer supports FrontPage Server Extensions (FPSE). Same is true for IIS 7.0 in Windows Vista. Because there are tons of Web hosting providers who rely on FPSE, Microsoft and Ready-to-Run Software offer a special version of FPSE. This new version is called FPSE 2002 and will work on IIS 7.0 running on 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and WS08 computers. You can download FPSE 2002 from http://www.rtr.com/fpse/.
To install FPSE on your WS08 server, login as an administrator account, or start the command prompt using “Run As Administrator” and type the following command.
msiexec /i \fpse02_win2008_vista_rtm_ENG.msi
Installing FPSE 2002 on WS08 requires that you install several additional services and features. If you don’t want these services installed then you can’t install FPSE 2002. Go to this link for more information on system requirements and the list of services that will be installed on your server.
I should point out that Microsoft’s FrontPage Server Extensions have a history of known issues so be very careful. Backup your server before installing FPSE 2002.
