Re: Server Error: Could not find a Web Server...

Windows XP Pro comes withs IIs ( MCE includes Windows XP Pro) and Frontpage
2002 Server Extensions comes with Frontpage 2003. If IIs is not istalled
when MCE is installed it can be installed from the Control Panel. Likewise,
Frontpage 2002 Server Extensions can be installed from Frontpage 2003 CD or
downloaded from Microsoft. Obviously, if one is not running web sites
created by frontpage with components the need for server 2002 extensions are
not required nor are they desired. But all this rehetoric has has not
addressed my original question. Perhaps, someone else would like to help.
