Introducing Microsoft Web Platform Installer(joshjordan.com)

submitted by JoshJordanJoshJordan(55) 3 years, 2 months ago

On March 18th, Microsoft released Web Platform Installer 2.0. The Web Platform Installer is a small utility you can use to download, install, and maintain your Microsoft Web Platform applications.

submitted by epearsonepearson(65) 3 years, 3 months ago
