frontpage 2000, Terminal Server and IE

[Peter Connell]

Having installed frontpage on one of the terminal servers
(successfully, I believe), there is now a problem which is
more an inconvenience than anything else.
Everytime IE is run an installation box appears, trying to
install a component of Frontpage 2000 (it doesn't mention
which one) along with a progress bar. This appears to run
through successfully (the process only takes a few
seconds) but it does the same thing time after time with
all users, even if the process has run through for that
user previously (even in the same session). Again a
search of the KB has proved fruitless. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Pete

PS If possible, could you send solution through to my
email.

I think Terminal Services creates a "virtual profile" for each login. Being
that, FP sees it as a new user on the box and will install those features,
even though you have installed them the last time you logged in.

You could try reinstalling with ALL of the features checked (use custom
install), but you may need to do it from the local console to get it to work
correctly.

Or, just put up with it if it is not hurting anything.
