Frontpage 2000 on old computer

[Runaround]

A little background: I have a new computer. Frontpage 2000 is on the old
computer. On the old computer Frontpage was installed on the C:\ drive but
the files were maintained on another hard drive. I have installed the hard
drive containing the Frontpage files on the new computer, but I have a new
C:\ drive on the new computer. I have instalaled Office 2007 on the new
computer, so I do not have Frontpage 2000 installed on the new computer.
Question: How can I install only Frontpage 2000 on the new computer without
distrubing Office 2007 components? Is this even possible?

You will need the FP2000 install CD, and do a custom install and do not
install PWS (Personal Web Server)...and you will have to work with
disc-based webs and Preview in Browser to test your pages on your new
machine.

Guessing here...since you did not mention which OS you have.

However, maybe you'd like to download and try the trial of Expression Web
Designer?...FP's new big brother

Thanks for the info.
Please explain 'disc-based webs'. I am not familiar with the term.
Also, I did try Expression Web but I never could get the pages to upload as
designed into a browser. All the spacing would be off and the pages looked
very skewed. It seemed that the pages were overloaded with CSS and the
browser couldn't handle the CSS. I looked at the knowbase on microsoft.com
and the suggestion was to use tables instead of CSS. When I read that I
closed Expression and never went back. If you have a better work a round I
would be happy to try Expression again.

Server based web would be stored at http://localhost/yourwebsitename -
when using a server, FP2000 installed and used PWS which won't work so
don't install it.

Disc-based web would be stored at C:\My Documents\My Webs\yourwebsitename
(or something similar)

With disc-based web you have to Preview in Browser to see how it will
look/work.
