Re: Upgrade 2003 to 2008 "frontpage server extensions are installe

Great, glad it worked for you too :)

Just a shame MS forces us to go to these lengths, I bet this is going to happen to a lot of people, I've had it on 4 servers already.

Peter, thanks so much for passing on your solution! This works for me too.

As there seemed no MS tool to remove them I got brutal in the end.

1) Removed the frontpage ISAPI filter from all web sites and the top level
"Web Sites" in IIS manager
2) Searched the registry for all entries containing "FrontPage" and "web
server extensions" and deleted as many of the keys as possible
3) Used a delete on boot utility to remove the directory "C:\Program
Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions"

I can't see why they insist on not installing W2008 if FrontPage extensions
are installed, why don't they just remove the extensions during the install
process, or at least publish a "completely remove frontpage extensions" tool
