The FrontPage Server Extensions must be installed and executed using the native Administrator account on both Windows Server 2008 and Vista.
The FrontPage Server Extensions kit is intended to run on Vista Ultimate, Vista Business, Vista Enterprise and Vista Home Premium.
After installation, I tried to extend the web site but received an error saying ‘_vit_bin’ could not be accessed.
· FrontPage Server Extensions is a legacy application that requires the user to be logged on as the native Administrator account.
1. I tried to install on Vista Ultimate but the installation failed right away with ‘An internal error has occurred. ( ) Installation ended prematurely because of an error.’
· There is a problem with some installations of Vista where vbscript.dll fails to be registered properly. Please login as Administrator, open a cmd window, cd to where vbscript.dll lives (usually c:\windows\system32), and run the command: "regsvr32 vbscript.dll". You should see a success message, then try installing FPSE again.
After I installed the extensions, I got a message saying it installed successfully, but then a message saying: "unable to read configuration for Microsoft Internet Information service"
· Start a cmd.exe window, using run as Administrator (if not logged on as native Administrator account)
· Cd C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\50\bin
· Enter the following commands in the cmd window:
o owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn ValidateServicesCnf -pv fix
o owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn CheckRolesConfig -pv fix
o owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn TightenSecurity -pv fix
o owsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn CheckUserAccess -pv fix
o owsadm.exe -o check

- The Windows Installer 4.0 property, MsiSystemRebootPending, which is not set by FPSE, is already set when the FPSE installer checks it. The machine gets stuck in the state where it thinks a reboot is needed, but after rebooting doesn't clear this property.
- Please review this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555175 with special attention to method 11.
How do I create a log file during installation so I can review it or send it to support for addition help?
- Start the install of the FrontPage Server Extensions from a cmd line and create a log file. To do this: launch a cmd.exe window with Run As Administrator property set. In that DOS window, type "<fpse_msi> /l*v logfile", where <fpse_msi> is replaced with the actual MSI name and logfile is the path and name of the log file to create. You will have to navigate to the location of the msi file or specify the full path in the cmd window.
In 64 bit Operating System, why do I get the error: FPSE 2002 on Win 2008 server --> Service Unavailable and the AppPool shuts down?
- Please refer to this thread from the IIS7.NET Forum for additional information.
From the main Internet Explorer menu, select the Tools button and then select Internet Options from the drop down menu.
In the Internet Options window, click on the Advanced tab. In the Advanced tab window, scroll down in the Settings window to the Browsing section.
Under the Browsing header, look for the checkbox rule stating: Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility).
Verify that the checkbox is NOT checked. Uncheck it if necessary.
Click on the Internet Options window Apply button to save the configuration.
Click on the Internet Options window OK button to close the dialog.
You should now be able to successfully download the FrontPage Server Extensions via FTP using Internet Explorer.
