I read many tutorials about how to install Joomla on Windows Server IIS (No WAMP, XAMPP), but i got confused. Can you please give me instructions how to do it properly, and what tools will i need?
The best way that I found to get everything installed without a lengthy tutorial is to use Microsoft's WebMatrix. It installs all of the prerequisites for you and if you need anything extra components for your projects (s) you can utilize the MS Web Platform afterwards.
Microsoft WebMatrix for Joomla
All you need is a vanilla Windows load and the installer will manage the rest.

I need to install webmatrix 3 in a pc without internet connection.
I have win7 64bit.
so i downloaded webmatrix x64 exe and all his dependencies and services exe/msi files - include web platform installer.
I installed all and run the webmatrix app but an message box pop up and said that I need to have the latest webPI installed (4.6 in this days..).
But it is a problem because the wpilauncher.exe file (webPI installer file) install version 4.0 for some reaseon, i think it because I dont have internet accsess.
so?
help, thx.
you can download offline installer from Web Platform Installer
Run on your PC with internet connection WebMatrixWeb.exe, click Install
You will see installation plan and download link on the right.
this may help
There's a link to an offline instaler for x86 available at download.microsoft.com/download/c/2/a/c2a485fa-013a-45ef-baba-c568e40f4b50/WebMatrix_x86_en-US.msi. Requires IIS 7.5 Express or IIS 8.0 Express.
I can see you've specifically asked for x64 version, but this might work for someone searching for x86 version.
WebMatrix needs an active internet connection to install since it pulls in some other required services from the Web Platform Installer.
Quote:
"..WebMatrix needs other components installed to function correctly,
and those are all pulled in by Web Platform Installer automatically.
In that sense, the true installer is not really "offline"."

by the way my os is windows 7 64 bit,and I use visual studio 2010.
FrontPage server extensions (FSE) is a server side package that FrontPage and some other Microsoft applications use to upload files to web sites. FSE must be installed on the server in order for these applications to upload files. FSE has nothing to do with Microsoft desktop products directly. It is often installed on Apache systems, for example. cPanel has an option to install it, if you are using that to manage your server.
IIS should come with FSE already installed, AFAIK. That would certainly make sense, with it being a Microsoft product.
I wonder how to remove Web Matrix dependecy from web platform installer.
For example, I saw screencast "how to install wordpress with wpi" and there everything was fine without installinb Web Matrix. This IDE sucks, I have Visual Studio installed, so don't want to install any web matrix components.
The same happens on installing blogEngine.net.
Has anybody dealed with this problem?
When you install applications from the Web Application Gallery, Web Platform Installer will default to including WebMatrix if you are on a client OS (like Windows XP, Vista, or 7). This is so most users will be able to do something with the application once installed - assuming they don't have Visual Studio already installed.
Now, if you happen to not need WebMatrix, you can change this behavior - you can click on the Options link from within Web Platform Installer and change "Which Web Server would you like to use?" to IIS instead of WebMatrix - this will prevent the chaining in of WebMatrix.
Hope this helps!

How do you use the Web platform installer to install the SEO Toolkit from http://www.microsoft.com/web/spotlight/seo/? If I choose application, I have to choose an application through a file dialog. If I choose OK, I get a 'The product you are trying to install is not supported on your operation system" message. What!? I am using Windows XP SP3.
and why this new way of installing applications? What's wrong with downloading an .exe. or .msi file? This thing seems to be made for newbies. It frustrated me instead of being anything better than the traditional previous installers.
If you don't want to use Web Platform Installer, then you can download the SEO toolkit from this page: http://www.iis.net/expand/SEOToolkit
The advantage of the WPI is that it automatically installs any dependencies required by the selected application.
SEO Toolkit requires IIS 7 or greater on the client machine running the tool, which means Vista or Windows 7.
