Make sure that the FrontPage Server extensions are installed also (they
should be as they are a default option when installing XP Pro). What url are
you trying to create the site at? I only ask because sometimes a book has an
example, like http://mycomputer/ as the URL and when reading the book,
inadvertently copy that. Make sure that you're trying to create a web at
http://localhost/EmployeeInfo/ Also, you'll probably need to make this into
a FP-enabled web. You can do this throught he IIS MMC and right-click on the
virtual server (Default Web Site), select New | Server Extensions Web | and
enter in the exact same name as the virtual directory (web shared
directory). After that, right-click on the virtual server again and select
All Tasks | Check Server Extensions.

        Hope this helps,
