Runtime Errors When Uninstalling FrontPage
This article was previously published under Q185545
When you are uninstalling Microsoft FrontPage 98, the following error
message may appear:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library:
Runtime Error!
Program: Program Files\Microsoft Frontpage\version3.0\bin\fpsrvwin.exe
abnormal program termination.
The file <X>:\ContentRoot\_vti_pvt\services.cnf (where <X> is the drive to
which the content is stored) has been manually edited so that the root Web,
"" (without the quotation marks), is not listed at the top of the file.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft FrontPage 98 for
Windows.
To work around this issue, you must manually edit the Services.cnf file in
the following location:
<X>:\ContentRoot\_vti_pvt\services.cnf
(where <X> is the drive to which the content is stored)
The root Web "" (without the quotation marks) should be listed at the top
of the file. After this is done and the file is saved, repeat the uninstall
procedure.
If FrontPage 98 does not show up in the Add/Remove Programs dialog box in
Control Panel, the uninstall was successful, despite the error.
The Services.cnf file should still be manually edited to allow a correct
reinstallation of Microsoft FrontPage 98.
Example of incorrect Services.cnf file:
