The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see Q194543.

SUMMARY
=======

In order to take advantage of the full functionality of FrontPage, you need to
use a Web server. The FrontPage compact disc comes with two Web servers:

- FrontPage Personal Web Server

- Microsoft Personal Web Server

When to Install the FrontPage Personal Web Server
-------------------------------------------------

If you install a later version of FrontPage on a system where FrontPage 1.1 is
already installed, the installation procedure upgrades the FrontPage Personal
Web Server and Server Extensions automatically.

If FrontPage 1.1 was not installed on your system, please see the following
article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for information about how to install the
FrontPage Personal Web Server:

  Q161413 FP97: How to Install the FrontPage Personal Web Server

When to Upgrade to the Microsoft Personal Web Server
----------------------------------------------------

If you want to write your own Common Gateway Interface (CGI), Internet Server
Application Programming Interface (ISAPI), or Internet Database Connector (IDC)
scripts or programs using the Microsoft Personal Web Server, you need to upgrade
from the FrontPage Personal Web Server to the Microsoft Personal Web Server.
