How to Fix problems with Frontpage (fpadmdll.dll)


1. Open the IIS MMC on the web server computer. You can access it directly by going to the start menu and select RUN. In the text box, type in "%SystemRoot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc" with out the quotes and hit enter.

3. Right click on the site, and select Properties.
4.
On the first tab (Web Site) make sure that the IP address is correctly bound (I would recomend setting at (All unassigned). Set the TCP Port to 6892 and the timeout to 240.
5.
Browse to the ISAPI filters tab, and clear out anything that is there so that the box is empty.
6.
Go to the next tab, Home Directory. Make sure that the local path is set to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\50\isapi\_vti_adm" with out the quotes. If your Operating system is installed onto a different drive, or you use a different drive/directory for the program files, please change the above path to reflect your individual setup. What is pasted above is the default and wont need to be changed by most people.
7.
On the next tab - Documents - Remove everything except for Default.aspx from the list. Then click on "Add" button to the right, and type in fpadmdll.dll in all lower case, and hit ok. Click on the newly added name in your list, and click on the "Move Up" button - you want this newly added listing to be on the top of the list.
8.
Hit OK to save and close the window. Depending on yoru computer, this could take a second, or it could take several to finish saving. Once the window has been closed, go back to the Start menu, and select RUN again. In the Textbox type "iisreset /restart" with out the quotes. A window will open stating that it is trying to stop (and then start) the services.Once this completes you are done and the process should now work as you expect.

How to Download a File on WinInet.DLL


1. Create a new function that takes the URL as its single parameter, using this code:std::string GetUrl(const char *URL)
{
2. Insert this code to create a new constant buffer to store the size of the parts that make up your file:const int DownloadBufferSize = 1024;
3. Add this code to create a constant that stores errors, in case your program throws one:const std::string errorString = "ERROR";
4. Use the HINTERNET function of WinInet to open an Internet connection, before you attempt to download the file, by inserting this code:HINTERNET hInternet = InternetOpen("GINA: Version 0.1", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, NULL, 0,0);
if(hInternet == NULL){
return errorString;
}
5. Open the URL by using this code:HINTERNET hFile = InternetOpenUrl(hInternet, URL, NULL, 0, 0, 0);
if(hFile == NULL){
return errorString;
}
6. Create a buffer that holds file size by inserting this code:DWORD sizeBuffer;
DWORD length = sizeof(sizeBuffer);
7. Get the file size by using this code:bool succeeds = HttpQueryInfo(hFile, HTTP_QUERY_CONTENT_LENGTH | HTTP_QUERY_FLAG_NUMBER, &sizeBuffer, &length, NULL) == TRUE;
8. Create a new string to store the file by inserting this code:std::string downloadedContents = "";
9. Insert this code to set the download buffer and count the number of bytes your program downloads:char *downloadBuffer = new char[DownloadBufferSize];
DWORD bytesRead = 0;
do{
InternetReadFile(hFile, downloadBuffer, DownloadBufferSize, &bytesRead);

}while(bytesRead != 0);
11. Close the WinInet handles and the program by using this code:InternetCloseHandle(hFile);

Declare Sub getdiskinfo Lib 'c:\myDLL' (ByVal drive As String, ByVal volume As String, free_space As Long)
2. Create variables to send to the function and variable that contains the return value. The following code is used to declare variables in Visual Basic:
Dim drive As String
Dim volume As String
Dim free As Long
Dim returnValue As Integer
3. Call the function and return a value. The following code illustrates how you use a DLL function in Visual Basic:
returnValue = getdiskinfo (drive, volume, free)
4. Display the result to verify your function results. The message box is used to test values in Visual Basic. The following code displays the return value from the 'getdiskinfo' function call:
