Error Message: This Site Has Not Been Enabled for FrontPage

ID: Q248625

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Site Server version 3.0, Commerce Edition

SYMPTOMS

When you run the Site Foundation Wizard, the following warning may appear:

This site has not been enabled for FrontPage

Details:
Error: 80070003
The system cannot find the path specified.

CAUSE

Site Server Commerce is expecting a FrontPage registry entry, which is missing.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, add the necessary registry entry. To do this, perform the following steps:

Create a text file on the Desktop with any name and a .reg extension.

Enter the following lines of text exactly as they appear and include a blank line at the bottom of the file:


REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FrontPage\3.0]
"FrontPageRoot"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft FrontPage"

Save the file and then double-click the file to merge the entries into the registry.

To verify the values have been entered correctly into the registry:

Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).

Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FrontPage\3.0

"FrontPageRoot" should have a value of "C:\Program Files\Microsoft FrontPage" (note that the double backslash has been replaced with a single backslash). This is the desired behavior.

If you installed Windows NT onto a partition other than C:, you will need to modify the script above to point to the proper partition (such as D: or E:) before executing it.

MORE INFORMATION

Installing Office 2000 removes the FrontPage registry entry that Site Server Commerce is expecting.
