My team is currently supporting a 1.1 app and we are installing VS.NET 2003 on Windows 7. We haven't had any issues on the 32-bit machines, but FrontPage Server Extensions are failing to install on my 64-bit machine.

Others say that they have done this successfully, so I wanted to know if anyone here has and if they know of a solution.

The specific issue is that FPSE (to clarify, I'm installing "FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for IIS 7.0") fails to install correctly. In EventViewer I get the error:

Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions:

Error #3004f Message: Unable to read configuration information for Microsoft Internet Information Server: ImpersonateLoggedOnUser Error.

I've looked for errors with ImpersonateLoggedOnUser on 64-bit and did find a case where it fails on 64-bit when UAC is turned off (which I did have it off). I turned UAC back on, ran command prompt as administrator, and ran msiexec on the FPSE package. Still no dice.

I have followed this tutorial (and the others it points to) for installing.

I managed to install Visual Studio 2003 on a virtual Windows 7 (64 bit) by

  1. Installing RTR FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions for IIS 7.5.
  2. Letting the installer for VS2003 install the prerequisites.
  3. Continue installation of VS2003.
