Uninstall/Reinstall FP2000 without FP Server Extension; without deleting current webs

5

5tulips

(1) Can I uninstall and reinstall FP 2000 without deleting some other webs I
already have in My Documents\My Webs?

(2) I will not be using a template theme in my new web, just original design
where I want it, nor dynamic stuff that needs FP Server Extensions. And I
want to use FTP to transfer the files of the new web. Can I reinstall
FP2000 without installing server extensions that came in the software? How?

(2) I want to build a new web with part of the content of a current web into
the newly reinstalled FrontPage, but I want to keep the same name of the
original current web for this newly rebuilt version. Since both webs will
be in the same My Webs folder, would it be better to rename the old web to
something else before I name the new web with the original name?

And when I reinstall FP2000, before I FTP the first time, are there any
FrontPage folders I need do delete. If there are instructions somewhere for
this, I would be grateful for a reference.

1) Yes
Uninstall/reinstall does not affect your webs created
2) Yes
- do a custom install
3) You can't rename a FP Web
- Publish the old one to a new web, the delete the old one and create a new one by the same name

No don't delete anything because the FP config files are required to manage your local site as a FP web

To do what you want, doesn't require that you un-install and then re-install FP, you just have to
learn not to use features and functions that requires the run-time version of the FP SE on the
live/remote server.

Okay. I guess I'm good to go. I need to uninstall and reinstall FrontPage
because there has been some damage to FP (IE7?) (FP server extensions?)
(host moved to a new server?) (working at 2am?) - all these are suspect and
it would just be easier to rebuild the web and change over to FTP. Half the
technicians have told me over the years I have FrontPage extensions; half
say I never did - so why bother with the unknowns? I have another web which
has been only FTP'd for seven years and I have never, ever had to call a
technician for that web

Thank you for your responses. Appreciate the help.

Locally, you will always have the design-time extensions, the only way you would have the server
extensions, is if you are running Windows XP Pro or Server with IIS and chose to install the
extensions. IE7 would not cause problem with the extensions, but could cause problems with FP trying
to connect to the remote server, since FP uses IE for connecting, so you might want to first try
uninstalling IE7 and any Anti-Virus application before you go uninstall FP.

FYI: I have been using the same web host with FP SE since 1997, and never had any real issues that
were directly related to having the extensions.

Then, it most probably *is* IE7 (On Windows XP Pro) preventing the
connection? I am good at getting rid of the .web cache, saving, and then
recalculating hyperlinks.

When I do "Publish Web" - on the dialog where I enter my directory name and
password, it refuses my password and it is written: "This operation requires
author permission for home.nycap.rr.com:80" I don't know what this means.
The password opens the FP Control Panel that lets me access my web account,
so is that how I should suspect the problem is IE7?

(1) What if I decided not to uninstall and reinstall FP: can this be fixed
another way without uninstalling IE7 and antivirus app; then uninstall FP?

(2) If this is the only way to fix (IE7 problem), then do I reinstall IE7 or
does it revert to IE6?
Sorry for expressing my quandary, but I am at a loss.

If your problems started after upgrading to IE7, then remove IE7 and see if that solves the problem,
your system will revert back to IE6.
