It wasn't me! But now I have to clean up the situation. This is highly
annoying because FPSE isn't even being used by anything.

So I uninstalled FPSE after the fact. I noted that FPSE lingered on in the
IIS web server extensions (even after an iisreset). I tried upgrading the
virtual server anyway as per popup instructions (stsadm -o upgrade), but got
the message

"Cannot upgrade virtual server http://myserver/. Windows SharePoint Services
does not support in-place upgrading of SharePoint Team Services v. 1.0 from
Microsoft or FrontPage Server Extensions. You must migrate the content from
this virtual server to a new virtual server extended with Windows SharePoint
Services."

I don't have spare ip addresses for new virtual servers, so hoping for
another workaround. Any suggestions? Would a stsadm forceupgrade succeed
without breaking everything? Ideally I'd like to avoid reinstalling WSS.

Ta in advance

Couldn't find any way around it but to uninstall.
