Install all dependencies for Microsoft WebMatrix


I can't use Microsoft’s Web Platform Installer to install webmatrix. The error message is "Web Platform Installer has stopped working"

I looked at different alternatives and then installed webmatrix, .NET Framework 4, iis 7.5 express separately. Now i wanted to use the "Site from Template" option but i cant start it because i don't have all the dependencies installed.

I can only use "My sites" option.

Can you suggest any dependencies i need to install to have a working webmatrix.

Thank you for your time.


Solution

  • I resolved this issue. I did not use web platform installer. When i started the webmatrix, it asked for an update. I looked at what it wanted to install and it also showed the links. I manually went to those links and installed all the required dependencies.

    Now my webmatrix works perfectly fine. Thank you all for your responses
