FP2003 and Vista

[Metta]

Finally got one machine with MS VistaU on it and am trying to get FP running
to create and edit web sites for local and remote publishing.

I tried opening a remote site "www.sitename.com" and then publishing it to
either http://ComputerName or http://localhost without success.

I am obviously missing something? Should I be able to open http://localhost
and create/edit/publish to it via FP2003?

Thanks
M

No. You need FrontPage extensions installed on IIS, and IIS in Vista
does not support FrontPage extensions (there is a Beta version of
extensions available, if you wish to try a beta..)

Publish to a disc location, and set this location as a virtual folder in
IIS. Edit as a disc based web, then preview/test from
http://localhost/virtualFolderName/ in the browser.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go, although it sounds like a pain in the
.....!
