Where are you getting the FP extensions from? They MUST be installed from the Windows 2003 CD -
any other source will always give problems.
Exception: if you are using a 64bit version of Windows 2003, then the extensions should be
downloaded from Microsoft. Otherwise - ALWAYS use the version on the Windows 2003 CD.

Hi all,
I'm trying to figure out if I need to reinstall FP Extensions 2002. I
migrated several websites from IIS4/NT Server into a new IIS6/Server 2003
machine. Everything works fine on the sites...but not the FP Extension
enabled pages. As far as I know, FP Exts are only used for form submission
(i.e. no login/pw or other stuff). So, I'm trying to get these fp forms to
work again on the websites I migrated from IIS4.

So, I already have FP Extensions 2002 installed. I can access the admin web
page and I can successfully extend FP to the migrated web sites. I can
successfully do everything that I can think of...but still the FP forms on
these websites don't work.

Also, I am getting the all too common error logs:
---------------------------------
Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions:
Error reading IIS default Vroot info

Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions:
Error #3005f Message: Unable to read configuration for Microsoft Internet
Information Server.
--------------------------------

I have been reading about this but the MS knowledge base article pertaining
to this only deals with worker process mode for IIS5, and I am running IIS6.
Here is the link that isn't so helpful to me:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=319305
**I have already changed the worker process modes in IIS6 to try to fix the
errors but they still occur...

I've seen several postings of people recommending reinstalling FP 2002
Extensions. Is this my best/only choice? What work does this entail? I think
I have the media as a kind person forwarded me a link but are the FP
extension files really only like 3Mb in size?

ok, enough questions....

thanks!
