I get the following msg when I try to install FrontPage Extensions on my
Windows XP system: "The server administration programs and the server
extensions on the web server are not compatible.  The administration program
is too old to use with this server"
I then get this message: "Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 was
successfully installed."
The extensions do not work. (I get a message that I must use a from from a
site with FrontPage Extensions installed.
My system is as follows:
- Windows XP Pro - Build 2500.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519
- IIS Version 5.1
- FrontPage 2003 - (11.6356.6360) SP1
- FrontPage Extensions 2002
I have downloaded the Windows 2003 Administration package as directed by a
knowledge base article and still get the same problem.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled just about everything.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

In order to use the extensions after they are installed, you must open the s
ite in FP via
http://localhost/sitename or view the site via http://localhost/sitename/pagename.
htm in your
browser.

It is whatever you have assigned or your web host assigned.

Tom:  A standalone Windows XP Pro is my system so, I guess I am the system
administrator.  How would I go about creating the user and setting the
password?

Normally on your local system you wouldn't be required to enter a login for 
the web site, as it
would use your Windows Login. When you install IIS and the extensions, you w
ere logged in as the
Admin, correct? When you run FP and try to access IIS and the extensions are
 you under the same
user's account?
