Frontpage and XP IIS

[KimLeece]

Hi.
I have a strange problem. I have made a site using Frontpage 2002 on a machine that runs ME. I published it to another machine that is running XP, with SP1, and although it allowed me to publish the site, gave a message that said that the verion I was using on the first machine has more up to date server extentions than the XP machine and advised me to get updated server extentions for the server. When I checked the update site I could only find server extension updates for NT and 2000 - not XP. I downloaded and installed them anyway - but the site got completely messed up in the process when I tried to re-publish everything with the new extentions. I had to uninstall IIS completely - delete the inetpub directory - and re-install IIS. This brought me full circle to the beginning - The Frontpage on the ME machine allowed the new publish - but again gave the message to update the extentions (it said some menus and dialog boxes would not work correctly).
I have no idea what to do next - so would appreciate any help or advice from the members!
Thanks in advance,
Kim Leece
