Thanks for replies from you and Ronx.
I will walk thru the steps Ronx provided this evening and give it another
try.
In answer to the issue you raised..first I installed XP virtual machine from
a Windows 7 user account. When I ran into the password problems with the
FP2000 extensions, I started over (by uninstalling the XPVM) and
reinstalling from a Win 7 Admin account. I did not see the XPVM asking
about priveleges. It did ask for a password. I used the same password as
the Win 7 accout. I think XPVM entered it's own user while installing
XPVM...something like "XP Virtual Mode" (not exactly sure...something like
that).
The FPSE 2000 contained in the XPVM seemed to install correctly...but as you
might have seen in this thread, they worked maybe once...meaning I could
establish one web at /localhost/... When I would close and reboot the XPVM,
I could not create another web or open the previous one because FP2003
wanted a login and password that I could not figure out and was not the ones
I had used in setting up the Win 7 or VM account. When I uninstalled and
reinstalled XPVM and tried to use either the FPSE 2002 from the FP2002 disk
or the FPSE file: fpse02_x86_ENG.exe the installation ended in the message
about a successful install. However, they server extensions did not appear
in the services list or in Administrative Tools of XPVM. Since Ron has
gotten his to work, I am obviously missing some detail. From Ron's previous
post, I repeated the procedure but "stopped" the IIS Admin in Admin
Tools/Services before installing FPSE...however, had the same results with
FPSE 2002.
I will sit down with Ron's instructions later and try to do exactly what he
did.
If there is something else that it appears that I have missed, please let me
know.
Thanks for your input and responses.

As a possible reason (if possible)
- when you created the XP virtual did you create a user account with a
password and admin privileges
(not sure if XP virtual supports user accounts with passwords)

Well, getting frustrating now. I removed and reinstalled XP virtual mode.
Installed the IIS that is contained in XPVM. Went to the Administrative
Tools and "stopped" the IIS Admin. Then installed fpse02_x86_ENG.exe.
Installation marked as successful. I installed the two security patches
you
mentioned. I did note that no server extensions appeared in the
Administrative Tools or Services running. I restarted IIS. The only sign
I
could see of the FPSE was shortcut to SharePoint Administrator. Clicking
on
that said that I did not have sufficient privileges.
Any ideas about what I am missing?
Thanks

There is no legal download for 32bit FrontPage extensions for any
operating system, and hasn't been for about three years. XP mode on
Windows 7 is 32bit only.
If you have the exe (fpse02_x86_ENG.exe) then open the Windows XP Virtual
machine, stop IIS.
Remove all traces of FP2000 extensions and FP2002 extensions.
Install the 2002 extensions by doubleclicking the .exe.
Start IIS and configure the extensions using the Control Panel ->
Administration Tools -> Microsoft Sharepoint Administrator
To enable DWTs to work correctly you will also need
officexp-kb813380.exe, and officexp-kb911831-client-ENu.exe which are
updates to the original install file (and which may not be available
now).
