This blurb is from the VS.NET 2003 readme, but the same should apply to
VS.NET as well.
5.25. Failure of FrontPage 2000 Web Client Extensions Installation
A typical installation of Visual Studio .NET 2003 installs FrontPage 2000
Web Client Extensions from the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Prerequisites CD. In
some instances, installation of FrontPage 2000 Web Client Extensions may
fail. Consequently, you might need to install FrontPage 2000 Web Client
Extensions directly.
To resolve this issue
Insert the Visual Studio .NET 2003 Prerequisites CD.
On the Windows Start menu, click Run, and type [CD Drive]:\weccom.msi
Follow the directions in the FrontPage 2000 Web Client Extensions setup
dialog box.
On Windows XP Home Edition:
Setup may prompt for the Windows XP Professional Edition CD. Insert either
the Windows XP Home Edition or the Windows XP Professional Edition CD.
On Windows XP Home Edition or Windows XP Professional Edition with Service
Pack 1 installed:
Setup may prompt for the Windows XP SP1 CD. Insert the Windows XP Operating
System CD rather than the SP1 CD when prompted for operating system source
media.
Note For an OEM version of the operating system, copy files from the
installation CD to a local destination:
Copy Fp4autl.dll, Fpencode.dll, and Fp4awel.dll from \i386\Fp40ext.cab.
To [Local drive]:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server
Extensions\40\bin.
