  the installation?

The third error message may appear on some platforms when you are installing
FrontPage 98.

previous versions of the Server Extensions are already installed. If any virtual
servers do not already have a previous version of the FrontPage Server
Extensions installed, the FrontPage 98 Server Extensions are not installed

logged on to install the FrontPage Server Extensions.

To resolve the third error, install the FrontPage Server Extensions using the

Files\Microsoft FrontPage\version3.0\bin.
