Microsoft Web platform & Application installer Beta

 If you  run any of these OS( Windows Vista RTM, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008 )and need to get your PC all set up for doing web development then you may want to take a look at these 2  Beta products that are now available

Microsoft Web Platform Installer - Installs IIS, Visual Web Developer 2008( express edition) , SQL Server 2008 (Express edition) and the .NET Framework. It also allows you to pick and choose the components you want installed.

Microsoft Web Application Installer - Allows you to install commonly used applications like .NET Nuke,Graffiti etc to name a few

I definitely like this  concept and I am sure it sure simplifies the install experience. I would definitely like to see a version for Windows XP too :-)

  • Very very cool I have been saying we need something like this for a while, but I would like to see if extended to say the Professional versions of the products for the MS partners but this is good to get up and running in no time at all.

    Cheers
