While trying to deploy my vb.net(2005) application in to my server am getting the below error. Am using webservice in my windows application.

Error	56	Failed to connect to 'http://xxx/' with the following error: Unable to create the Web 'http://xxx/'.  The Web server does not appear to have the FrontPage server extensions installed.

I tried googling but most of the answers were to install the extensions. But my admin doesnt wants to install it.
Is it mandatory for installing Front Page Server Extensions?
