SUMMARY

If you previously installed FrontPage 98, FrontPage 97, or FrontPage 1.1, and then removed the program, you can install the upgrade version of FrontPage 2000 by using the following steps.

NOTE: Because the Setup program for the upgrade version of FrontPage 2000 searches for a qualifying product, you must have the compact disc or the floppy disks of the qualifying product in order to complete the following steps.

To install the upgrade version of FrontPage 2000:

  1. Insert the FrontPage 2000 compact disc into your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.

    If you are upgrading from FrontPage 98/97 (compact disc), follow these steps:

    1. Remove the FrontPage 2000 compact disc from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then insert the FrontPage 98/97 compact disc.

    3. After the End-User License Agreement dialog box appears, re-insert the FrontPage 2000 CD and continue with setup.


    If you are upgrading from FrontPage 1.1 (disks), follow these steps:


    1. Insert the FrontPage 1.1 setup disk (disk 1) in the floppy disk drive.
