Installation Issue with MS Personal Web Server

When installing MS FrontPage 2000 I receive the following error message:

"Unable to access configuration for microsoft personal web server". I found
a work around in the MS Knowledge Base but the PWSTray is not listed under
the System Configuration utility.

Has anyone ever had these issues and if so were you able to find a solution?

Thanks.

What O/S are you installing FP 2000 on? If Windows XP Pro, it doesn't use
PWS, but uses IIS 5.1 that comes with it. You would not install the PWS.

If installing to Win XP Home, it does not support a MS web server, and you
would do a custom install to not install the web server, and use disk based
webs.

I am using Windows XP Pro. During the installation process I received this
error message "Unable to access configuration for microsoft personal web
server". When I open a file in FrontPage my system freezes and then starts
shutting down. Any suggestions on whether the two are related?

The installation order should be:

Install IIS and the FP server extensions.
Install FrontPage (custom without a PWS)
