I have a VS 2008 (c#) project running on Windows XP.
I am trying to publish the application using "Publish Web" wizard to a remote server which is Windows Web Server 2008. Buy the publishing fails every time with following error:
----------------
Connecting to http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/... Unable to create the Web site 'http://XX.XXX.XXX.XX/'. The Web server does not appear to have FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
----------------

I use these links.
http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/134/install-frontpage-server-extensions/
http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1630
and
http://www.rtr.com/fpse/

I have installed FrontPage Server extensions from above links without any problems on the remote server. However, the problem remains. I cannot find any solution to this issue.

Many thanks for any suggestions,

After installing the FPSE you need to activate them for the particular website, if you have allready done that, then please look at the following thread..

Also, next time if you have any IIS related issues, its best to go to the IIS forums at the above mentioned site, for a quicker and accurate response
