Windows 7 will not allow FrontPage extenstions?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Larry
  • Start date Start date
I kinda doubt that a 10 year old version of Dreamweaver will work on W7
either ... so his complaint is not awfully valid.

Since MS FrontPage is out of support and no longer being made, you can't
expect it to always work everywhere. On the other hand, Dreamweaver is not
out of support. But, make sure it actually works with Windows 7.

worth a try for anyone in our situation.

They (Microsoft) chaff my undershorts.

Windows 7 will not work with Frontpage - I hope dreamweaver does, because that's what I am switching to.

Never will I buy a Microsoft product again when some one else has something similar.

I am sick sick sick of this BS.


It took a little doing, but I was able to get FP2003 working on Windows
7 Ultimate without using VPC/XP Mode (which this computer doesn't
support). The key was to NOT use Setup to set it up, but rather to run
the separate MSIs (OWC10, OWC11, and FP11N, IIRC) separately (and in
that order). I also had to do some serious manual installing of a
design-time third-party component (the KissFP MenuPlus nav and contents
generator) and my template for the website I use FP mostly for, and once
I did that, I had to run FP ONCE as administrator to get the
registration info for the component to "stick". As of now, it appears
to be OK.

Yeah, I'd classify the contortions necessary to get it working as "a
pain", but if FP is/was that important to you, the "obnoxity" of the
contortions needed isn't high enough (IMO) to throw over either FP or
W7.
