This article was previously published under Q216634



SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade to FrontPage 2000 and subsequently install the Visual InterDev RAD Remote Deployment Support in the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack, you cannot register a component on the server. You may receive the following error message:

This feature is not enabled on the Master Web Server. See the Visual InterDev product documentation to learn how to enable server component registration with FrontPage Server Extensions.



CAUSE
FrontPage checks for the installation of the Visual InterDev component registration only once at install time. If you enable Visual InterDev RAD Remote Deployment Support after FrontPage does the check, FrontPage will never extend your FrontPage 2000 Web with this component enabled.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, manually copy \Program files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\Web server extensions\40\Bin\Fp4areg.dll into \Program files\Common files\Microsoft shared\Web server extensions\40\Isapi\_vti_aut\Fp4areg.dll. When you have copied the file into this folder, rename it to Fp30reg.dll.

After you do this, uninstall and reinstall the FrontPage Server Extensions to this Web for the change to take effect. For additional information about how to install FrontPage Server Extensions, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

 * 1) Install FrontPage 98 Server Extensions.

 * 6) To specify a server component, in the Project Explorer, add the component to your Web project.
 * 7) Select the component that you want to register on the server.
