I'm using Win2K server & VB 6.0 is my development tools.

is there any code that I can use to programmatically install frontpage server extensions & manipulate the frontpage server extensions settings on IIS?

Also, how to uninstall the frontpage server extension manually & programmatically?

thanks a lot for the help.

Thanks, bruintje
I've already found the registry key based on the link that u passed to me. In that case, it doesn't require to use any of the 3rd party tools or so.

Anyhow, this solution isn't complete as I can add new FP server extensions to a specific site easily but I can't make the IIS metabase to display it. From the IIS metabase, it's still showing
"this site has not been configured to use FP server extensions..."

in this case, could you do me last favour to help me to locate the registry key that storing such info to tell the IIS metabase that such site has already configured to use the FP Server Extensions? Please help me to resolve it asap. thank you very much...
