Reinstalling FP / expression

If you think you'll need the server at some point, it's best to install it
early on. Usually, an OS component such as IIS or a server component such as
SQL Server are the first things I'll put on during an installation, then I
put on the applications that may make use of them.Often this saves some
prety nasty headaches because so much software nowadays depends upon certain
features that can be quirky if installed in the incorrect order. Also, I'd
install FP first then Expression. If you're running Outlook you may loose
your junk email functionality afterward installing Expression. The best
solution that was provided to me is to simply look in your list of installed
programs, making sure the show updates checkbox in the upper corner is
checked, and remove the last outlook junk email filter update. You can then
return to the office.microsoft.com site to update outlook and re-apply that
junk email update. After that it should work again.
 
I prefer to install IIS first and then the products but you can install in
after if you'd like.
 
I had to reformat my hard drive and am in the process of reinstalling
programs - I have downloaded the expression beta version and need to know
if I should install the IIS components from the cd before I install fp or
expression?

thanks for a quick answer

Pam
 
If you have a need to use the server extensions on your local machine, yes,
you should have ticked it. Not SMTP or FTP.

thanks - since I was having such a time before I reformatted with IIS - I
was hoping to skip it altogether

Hi Pam (and Rob). This is the official statement from Microsoft about that.

-----------
"The FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 web download is not available anymore
from the Microsoft web sites. This is due to the fact that the mainstream
support for FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 web download which follows the
Office XP/FrontPage 2002 life cycle expired on 7/11/2006. The following
article explains the timelines:

http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=1902

However, we understand that customers might need this download in situations
where existing FPSE2002 installations are hampered in one way or the other.
Considering this, it may be possible to obtain this download for
reinstallation purposes only if you call MS support."

----------
 
I'm so hoping someone that has it will send it to me :-) ..I've looked all
over the net and do NOT find it anywhere!!!
 
Ah that's good. I saved a copy, but this is good to know for others.
Tina should put that in her weekly ng update post.

When you say updating, do you mean from the Office Update Site? Do you have
your FP2003 CD in the PC? Are all other programs closed?
 
ok - I've got office 2003 reinstalled and am trying to update fp 2003 but it
keeps getting hung up on a file DWINTL20.dll ... it stops there - any
suggestions?

thanks
 
ok, I've explored the site several times and the only thing I can find is I
have to pay $35 per info call - is there another number or something that I
can call that is free to get it?

thanks
Pam
 
Well, I just got off the phone with the #800 that they post - of course he
took all my info and then told me that in order to rectify this 'problem' I
would have to talk to a tech expert and it would cost $35 ... so unless you
know something that I can't find out - please share!

Pam
 
Pam:
Please call them back and tell them you need the FPSE 2002 for a reinstall.
There is no charge. If you are told the same thing as before, please try and
get the name of person who tells you that.

I just found some files under my frontpage folder that I'm wondering if
these are the 2002 extensions that I'm looking for?

there are 3 of them - fpse 1001 fpse 10002 and one called
officexp-kb813380 client-eng
I also have a folder (think its zipped) that says
iis_admin_controlpanel_version 1 ... not sure if I need this one though

anyway - do you recognize the above and is this what I need?
