FP2000: FrontPage 2000 Installation Program Stops Responding

When you install Microsoft FrontPage 2000, the Setup program may stop responding (hang), and you receive no message indicating what the issue is.

This behavior can occur if you have an older version of Microsoft Internet Explorer installed on your computer.

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

1. Insert your FrontPage compact disc into the CD-ROM drive of your computer.
2. On the Microsoft Windows taskbar, click Start, and then click Run.
3. Type drive:\ie5\en\ie5setup in the Open box of the Run dialog box (where drive is the name of your CD-ROM drive), and then click OK.
4. After Internet Explorer has finished installing, click Start, and then click Run.
5. Type drive:\setup /l*v c:\log.txt in the Open box of the Run dialog box (where drive is the name of your CD-ROM drive), and then click OK.
   
   This step creates a verbose setup log to help with any further troubleshooting, should you require it.

If installation is still unsuccessful, you will find a log.txt file in the root of drive C.
