FrontPage Express

Downloading and installing FrontPage Express

The fastest way to get FrontPage Express is to copy the FPESETUP.CAB from an old cd with IE4 or IE5 on it. MSN and AOL gave away alot of such cd's.The IE4 version cab will even fit on a floppy!

Another option is to download a fully functional, stand-alone version of FPXpress from the Web. Use a search engine such as Google or Altavista and enter the keywords frontpage express download. Microsoft created a file named FPXpress.exe which is a self-extracting Zip. Once downloaded and run, this file will unzip the program to C:\FPXpress.

If necessary, extract the files using winzip or pkunzip.In the case of my FPXpress.exe, this will not be necessary as the file comes with its own unzipping program.

Run the program FPXpress.exe. It will prompt you that it is going to unzip the FPXpress files to your C:\drive. This is correct, so click .

It will then notify you that 21 files have been unzipped successfully. Click , and then close the self-extractor.

You should now open Windows Explorer (Start | Programs | Windows Explorer), and look for C:\FPXpress. If it is there then all is OK.

Create a shortcut from your desktop to the FPXpress program file in the FPXpress folder.

Start FrontPage Express by clicking on desktop icon. Use responsibly, please.
