The FrontPage Server Extensions do not work with IIS 7.5 - you may see a bunch of errors if you try to install FPSE with IIS 7.5, and after the installation has completed they will not work.

 Thanks for answering. Do you know maybe if FPSE will be supported in IIS 7.5?

Currently there are no plans to support FPSE on IIS 7.5. Demand for FPSE has decreased over the past few years in favor of industry-standard protocols like WebDAV and FTP. That being said, I wrote a walkthrough titled "How to Migrate FPSE Sites to WebDAV" that you can find at the following URL:

http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/359/how-to-migrate-fpse-sites-to-webdav/

In this walkthrough I describe something that I've been doing a lot recently, which is to move away from FPSE on my web sites in favor of WebDAV. What's more - if you use the built-in WebDAV redirector in Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008 (including R2) you can map a drive to a web site over WebDAV and open it open in an FPSE-friendly client (like older verison of FrontPage or Visual Studio) and still preserve all of your FrontPage metadata.

So how am I supposed to open a remote site in Visual Studio from a remote XP desktop.

 I am unable to find any examples ... connect via FTP ??? 

 ??

Depending on which version of Visual STudio you are using, yes, you should use FTP or one of the other options for deployment.  VS2010 will support a more powerful Web Deployment tool option to fully deploy your application (including configuration settings).

With VS 2010 Beta 2, is there any option to develop and debug on a remote IIS server? FTP, WebDAV and File System aren't allowing us to do that (run->automatic deployment->debug). Our servers are 2K8 R2 and so our IIS are 7.5. If you tell me there isn't YET IN 2010 an elegant built-in way to do that, I swear I'll cry myself to sleep and wake up tomorrow with a long grey beard and anti Microsoft open source ambitions. Thank you

You should follow Vishal's blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/webdevtools/default.aspx on what this will exactly look like in VS10.  It will definitely allow you to deploy easier, remote debugging/editing is something you should ask them about.

Hello,

we are switching from IIS6 with frontpage and web expression to a new W2008R2 Server with IIS7.5.

With Frontpage Extensions: I have 2 ASP/HTML files connected with a Hyperlink and I move 1 file to another subdirectory, the hyperlinks were automatically updated.

This is with IIS7.5 and without Frontpage Extension NOT working anymore? Right?
I have now access to the web with WebDAV, same with FTP - I guess.
This is unfortunately a very big drawback and I might consider going back to IIS7 (or wait until the FP Ext. might be available)

Now I found out, when you open the page which is having the Hyperlinks to the other pages and you move the linked to pages in another directory, the links will be updated. (with frontpage ext. it did not matter)

What other things are missing?

Hello,

Your post and questions is to old thread.

I suggest instead you look at current information for FPSE here http://www.rtr.com/fpse/  it should answer most questions.

Thank You,

Martin

 Well there are many thousands of users who are still devoted to this FrontPage extensions technology.  I am not sure why MS is trying to get rid of it.  I wish they would continue to support this technology way beyond 2008 R2.

The IT department set up a IIS 7.5 for me ... we consider to set up the Server with 7.0 and Frontpage again ...

We tried with WEBDAV, Expression Web etc, but have only problems ...

RTR's FrontPage® Server Extensions 2002 for IIS 7.5 are ready!

Visit http://www.rtr.com/fpse/Win2008R2/ for more information and to get the RTR FrontPage Server Extensions for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7.

The RTR FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 for IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 have the same functionality as both the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 for IIS 7 on Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista and the Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions 2002 for IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003. The only functional difference is that the FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions have now been ported to work with IIS 7.5.

Please note: The RTR FrontPage Server Extensions require an affordable and cost effective license.

Evaluation licenses are available.

LOL Yeah because FTP is such a new technology.... really?

Wow what is up with MS in the last 5 years; they really seem to have lost an important edge which has always been to stay in touch with users and how they use the systems. I think the comment about FPSE losing popularity is someone talking out for their A##; it was and is a fast and effective means of development and testing. Add this to the heap of major screwups along with Windows 7 Search

I agree.

- SharePoint to much

- Visual Studio to complicated (trying to make Websites look like Apps)

- Express Web and no teamwork without Frontpage Extensions

I bought the Frontpage Extensions for II7.5 - works - Rapidly developing websites, working in a team of 3. 1 layouter and a little ASP ... perfect.

I never get the budget and I do not need the manpower/visual studio for little websites.

The MATRIX try is nice, but still to complicated and no groupwise working on a website.

But to run PHP and Wordpress etc on a IIS7 is  very nice ....

While I agree there is a learning curve with VS I would NEVER do without it makes developing a dream and once you get it itis actually very simple and straight forward. PHP/Wordpress is not a combo that I would use for the types of sites that we develop BUT I do agree that keeping it simple is a real key. I am glad to here that the RTR FPSE are working well bcause at $5.00 a site is a no-brainer.
