Front Page 98 and Windows XP SP2

[Jeff Lloyd]

Does anyone have FP98 installed on Windows XP SP2? I'm wondering if it's
worth trying to install this older version...

You can install FP98, however you can not install the Personal Web Server (PWS) or FPSE from the
FP98 CD.

However...

FP98 is designed to work with server based webs (http://), not disk based (C:\..) which is how you
would have to use FP98 under Windows XP Home.

If you are running Windows XP Pro and have IIS and the FP Server Extensions installed, then you
should be fine.
