Frontpage on windows 11

you are saying HTML browsers dont support older code.

They do, not much has been deprecated.

The problem with FP is windows 11 removed or changed something in the Windows file system and this problem has nothing to do with the browser or server. It has to do with FP trying to do I/O using windows code which has changed.

but thanks for trying to help even though you dont understand the problem

This is in reference to a closed discussion:

Frontpage on windows 11 - Microsoft Community

I have found a workaround. If you do a run specifying:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\frontpg.exe" "full path to your local website"

The frontpage will open the specified local website. Once this is done, it will be re-opened automatically as the last website used (if that FP option is set) if you execute FP w/o a parameter. If you have multiple websites, opening others using the work around will leave the last 4 opened in the File/Recent Sites list.

You can also create links that contain the execution line above. You should specify the website path in the Start in field. Links allows you to access more than the 4 websites that File/Recent Websites supports.

Subsites within a site that is open can be opened in a new instance of FP by double clicking on the subsite in the file list.

Once a local website has been opened, I didn't find any issues with publishing to or viewing your remote website.

Hi Ali,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

FrontPage is very old Software, it was discontinued by Microsoft in 2003.

Try running FrontPage in Windows XP Compatibility Mode to see if you can get that working in Windows 11, that would be the only hope of getting that to work on Windows 11

What's the point of using Frontpage in 2022?

No browser will understand it.

This is like you trying to write a novel in original Shakespearean English with 16th century grammar and spelling and expects other people to understand your novel.

Bascially it will look like this.

No current browser understands 2003 HTML codes because in the last 20 years the internet grammar police have outlawed this spelling and that grammar because they are confusing. The old internet HTML codes are like 20 general grammar rules and then 1000 exceptions to the rules (mainly because Microsoft controlled the browser market and kept on breaking the rules) --- made life difficult for browser developers. The new internet HTML codes are like 50 general grammar rules and no exceptions. So the modern browser is smaller and faster by ditching the giant exception database.

You writing in Frontpage HTML codes means that you are writing HTML codes with the 1000 grammar exceptions and no modern browsers understand those 1000 grammar exceptions because they ditched them a long time ago. The only people who can understand your webpage would be people still running Windows XP with IE6.

Yes, i have the same issue , and i can't open my file. is there any other way out?
