(Crossposting to Win2k.general group due to similar problem posted
there below.)
I am experiencing the same problem described below -
I am trying to install VS.net 2003 on a WS with Win2K Sp4.
The Pre-reqs fail at installing Frontpage Extensions, and the
workaround of running weccom.msi directly prompts for the SP4 CD. I
don't have a SP4 CD!!!!
Scott - If you're out there - did you solve your problem?
One additional comment/question -
For VS.net to run on Win2K, does it require personal IIS running on
the client?
Thanks for any and all help

The good news is that Miscrosoft is rather quick to help resolve their
messes. A call to MS suppost provided the resoltion to this;

It turns out there are 3 files that need to be manually copied to
solve this particluar problem;
fp4awel.dll
fp4autl.dll
fpencode.dll
need to be copied manually to the directory -
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server
extensions\40\bin
(The sticker in my case was fp4awel.dll - I already had the other 2)
These files are in the SP4 CD in the FP4ext.cab (i Actually did get a
SP4 CD, which has the .cabs - it did not solve the problem below,
though. The files should also be in other SP , or the OS disk itself)
According to MS support, I should then also clear out my %Temp% dir.
The FP extension then installed OK from the VS Pre-reqs disc, and I
was able to proceed to step 2 of the install. WooHoo!
