Yes it did, and more! It even came with exploitable binaries, thus earning the distinction of being the first HTML editor to compromise your website for you.

(Edit: I originally said it auto-installed this. I misremembered what was going on and corrected.)

This is about Frontpage, the parent post is about Dreamweaver.

Also it is misleading, the linked page is about the server-side Frontpage Extensions, if you used Frontpage as an HTML page editor you'd just get a static site which is as secure as any other site made of static HTML files.
