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"."

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 have a Win XP Embedded machine (WES2009), that does not have preinstalled "Microsoft Windows Embedded Studio" (MSWES).
I need MSWES as a preposition for development (RTX by IntervalZero).
All I found on MS site related to this product is docs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838630(v=WinEmbedded.5).aspx
Anyone with a clue:
Can I simply install MSWES product on my WES2009 machine ?
Where can I download it simply ? (Preferably without using MS account.)
You don't run Embedded Studio on XP Embedded; you run it on your development host, and use it to create an XP Embedded OS image for your target application.
You need a development license, and ultimately deployment licenses.
You can simply and officialy download the WES2009 here:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=14947
This should be a trial version, or you apply your bought licence to this.
I wanted to publish my website from visual studio but i got "The Web server does not appear to have the FrontPage server extensions installed" error;first I tried to install frontpage but because i didn't have microsoft share point in my administrative tools list and as here said:here,I tried to install webdav 7.5 version,(I believed my iis version was 7)but it gives me error that iis version 7 needs webdav version 7.5!!!
I have googled it and tried so many links more or less(because I couldn't find some parts of them in my computer),I tried enabling webdav and ...
such as:thisand this
but none helped.so I thought maybe I am going wrong,so due to this:which is my own question,i think maybe i am using windows server 2003 and iis6,so i googled to install frontpage for iis6,from here,but I don't have such a thing "FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions" in turn windows features on or off,so what should I do?please help me to get out of this hell,should I upgrade iis6 to iis7?please help,i will be so thankful.
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 have installed web matrix and It has somehow removed the existing IIS Express 8.0, that is installed by default during the VS2012RC installation. I think that is because the web Matrix is using IIS 7.5. So that it has replaced the IIS Express 8 with IIS Express 7.5.
So my tech lead told me to remove the existing IIS 7.5 that has been installed during the installation of Web Matrix, And I removed it. So I have no IIS for debugging. So once I tried to install the IIS 8 manually and it says that there is a existing version of IIS Express 8. So that I can not even install the IIS Express 8.
So I did a repair to my VS2012RC. After a lengthy process it finally gave me a report as
"IIS 8.0 Express
Package failed"
So, Now I am totally stuck with this. Can some one good at this VS stuff help me on this issue.
Another thing is, previously when I open the project and it was not loaded(It says the project is not loaded) So, then when I write click on it and do a reload it said "For debugging you have to have IIS 8.0 and ask me to download it and install ".
When I click next and then it goes to "MS web platform Installer" and direct me to the "IIS 7.5 download page" But the install button was enabled and says its installed. What should I do to overcome this issue. This is like a nightmare.
I also Tried to use "Fix it" and Its beta testing is over and I can not do a proper uninstall of the IIS 8, which says that is still existing.
Thank you.
So, what I did was using MS web platform Installer my option of IIS Express 7.5 and IIS Express 8.0 was gone due to a registry issue. But there was another IIS 8.0 which is compatible with Windows XP and Vista and upper. So I downloaded it installed. It installed in no time and then I opened the project and changed my solution configuration, single start up to my website project. And it worked. That saved me form the havoc that day.
Later I uninstalled the IIS 8.0(Xp compatible) and then did a repair again to my VS 2012 and it installed correctly that time. Then I changed the configuration as said above and done.
If you have the same kind of problem you have to check the configuration also. Since I forgot that this took even longer instead of repairing time for the VS 2012 as well as the system restore.
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!
