SYMPTOMS
When you run the fp_install.sh script from a Joliet-formatted CD, the following error message appears:

Cannot find the FrontPage Extensions tar file. Which directory is the

file located in (X to cancel)?



CAUSE
UNIX automatically makes file names all lower-case letters on Joliet- formatted CD-ROM media. The installation script is looking for fp30. .tar.Z and does not recognize fp30. .tar.z.

(Notice the "z" at the end of the two file names.)



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows.

The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.



WORKAROUND
NOTE: Notice the case change in the .tar file name below.

To work around this problem, do the following:


 * 1) Copy the file from the Compact-CD drive to /usr/local/ on the hard disk drive.
 * 2) Rename it from fp30. .tar.z to fp30. .tar.Z.
 * 3) Run the fp_install.sh script again.
