To resolve this issue, follow these steps:  Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, double-click Services, and then stop the IIS Admin Service. In Windows Explorer, rename the c:\frontpage webs\server folder as c:\frontpage webs\oldserver. Do not delete or rename the Content directory. In Windows Explorer, rename vhttpd32.exe on all local drives as vhttpd32.old, and then verify that any shortcut has been deleted from the StartUp folder. Click Start, and then click Run. In the Run dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK. In the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Shared Tools/Web Server Extensions
