I will warn you, in mirroring Will's comments in another reply, that
some installations of Front page extensions can and will make your
webserver unusable for almost anything. We had a problem installing it
and it overwrote several scripts we already had in place and it hosed a
few dynamic sites.
If we have a customer who insists on Front Page extensions now, we'll
end up installing it on a non-production machine first, then
transitioning people to it.
The Front Page Extensions installers we used were lethally dangerous.
