Microsoft Web Platform Installer Benefits

Obtain components of the Microsoft Web Platform quickly and easily

The Microsoft Web Platform Installer provides a single installer that runs on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2003 SP2, and Windows Server 2008, to download the Microsoft Web Platform, including IIS 6.0 and 7.0, SQL Server 2008 Express, .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and Visual Web Developer 2008 Express SP1. The installer also identifies and installs Extensions for IIS 7.0 and ASP.NET, service packs, database drivers and other relevant Web platform technologies.

Choose which components to install to set up a complete or custom Web platform

The Web Platform Installer offers three installation options – Complete, which installs all available server and development products, Web server components, Web server extensions, and additional technologies; ASP.NET Developer, which installs the server components, tools and technologies that support the development and hosting of ASP.NET applications; and Custom, which allows you to choose exactly which components are installed to customize and streamline your Web platform. For example, you can choose specific components to support developing and hosting PHP applications on IIS 7.0, with support for data-driven applications through the SQL Server driver for PHP.

Install the latest versions of Microsoft Web Platform products, components and tools.

The Web Platform Installer downloads an XML-based manifest of available products and technologies, which is continually updated to ensure that each time the tool is run, it will offer the most current components and the latest versions of each technology, including service packs and other software updates. In addition, the Web Platform Installer will highlight newly available or pre-release software.
