Hi Joe:Thanks for the info..It might be a stupid question..But let me ask..Using this Web Platform Installer..is it possible to install IIS 7.0 in Win 2003 OS?Regards,Swami Khttp://swami-k.blogspot.com
Wow! Web Platform Installer seems to be a very good tool for beginners.But is it really useful for experienced developers?I know that there’s a bunch of similar tools for Apache/PHP/MySQL and they’re used only as getting started programs.
