Re: FrontPage Extension



You don't need SharePoint (WSS),
- but you do need the FP Server Extensions installed under IIS on Win XP Pro
(the FP SE Admin is also called Sharepoint Admin under Start - All Programs - Administrative Tools after you install the FP 2002 SE)
After installing IIS and the FP SE you need to open a server based locally using http://localhost
(not a disc based web as in C:\somepath\)
