trouble with frontpage server extensions

I'm running a test website on IIS 5.1/XP Professional. The
problem started when I tried to check out an asp file for
editing in Visual Interdev 6. When I tried, I got the
following error message: "cannot open file 'service.lck'
for writing". Everything I tried to do with the web
project in both Interdev and FrontPage 2000 met with a
similar error message. I even tried to remove the project
from source control in Interdev. Same results. I checked
several knowledge bases which advised many different
solutions, none of which worked. After about 4 hours, I
concluded that the server extensions themselves were
corrupt. So I removed them from the web project using the
server extensions administrative tool in the MMC console.
Then I tried to reinstall them by right-clicking on the
website in IIS, selecting: all tasks >> configure server
extensions from the popup menu. After selecting my options
and hitting the "finish" button, it started to install.
Then I got hit with the error "unable to hide _vti_script"
and the process terminated. I then downloaded the latest
set of extensions (2002) and installed. When I tried to
configure the web to use the newer extensions, I received
the error "unable to create file 'service.cnf'" or
something like it. I need to get source control on my web
project back up & running pronto. Please help!

This is definitely fpse. Try here:
microsoft.public.frontpage.extensions.windowsnt

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.
