PRB: Setup of the FrontPage Server Extensions Seems to Hang

Last reviewed: December 9, 1997
Article ID: Q166099

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Visual InterDev, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

Installation of the FrontPage Server Extensions seems to hang or take several hours to complete.

CAUSE

The FrontPage Server Extensions are examining each Web root and file on the server and listing them for use with the extensions. Unfortunately, the APIs used are not sufficient for the size of your Web. The setup program will eventually finish. However, if you feel a need to install the program in a faster way, remove all the Web roots and add them back on after installation.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
