FP97: Error, Problem w/ Setup if Qualifying Product Not Found (169087)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows with Bonus Pack
This article was previously published under Q169087

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to install the Microsoft FrontPage 97 with Bonus Pack upgrade product on a computer on which you never installed Microsoft FrontPage for Windows, version 1.1, or on a computer that is currently running an evaluation or beta version of Microsoft FrontPage 97, you are asked to identify a qualifying product or you encounter other problems during setup.

CAUSE

FrontPage 97 does not recognize the evaluation and beta versions of FrontPage 97 as qualifying products. FrontPage 97 only recognizes FrontPage for Windows, version 1.1, as a qualifying product.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, uninstall the beta or evaluation version of FrontPage and then install the retail version of FrontPage 97, not the upgrade version.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft does not recommend running the beta version of Microsoft FrontPage 97 on the same computer as the retail version. Microsoft recommends that you uninstall the beta version prior to installing the retail version.
