I also had this META tag error on W2K8 (x64) - resolved by deleting the productCache file in AppData\Local\Microsoft'Web Platform Installer

Thanks for the great feedback. We've investigated the issue, "The 'META' start tag on line 3 does not match the end tag of 'HEAD'. Line 4, position 3." This is an issue on our side that we will be resolving in our next release.

As a workaround in the meantime you should go to your local app data directory and delete any xml files with "productCache" in the title. On Windows 2003 the location is here: <%systemdrive%>\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer . If this still does not fix your issue please report it on the forums and we can continue to help you there! forums.iis.net/1155.aspx Thanks.

I've installed Visual C#Express and .NET Framework 3.51. But running the MS Web Platform Installer under XP SP2+ (german) produces an german error-message. On english: "The 'META' start tag on line 3 does not match the end tag of 'HEAD'. Line 4, position 3". Then it exits. Reading the other comments it should be a known bug, any solution?

I just installed Win 2003 Server Enterprise clean, but this error immediately pops up after running the install:

The 'META' start tag on line 3 does not match the end tag of 'HEAD'. Line 4, position 3.

Then it exits.

Initial attempt to run the wpilauncher.exe generate:

Cannot load product.xml from go.microsoft.com/fwlink

which in turn renders:

www.microsoft.com/.../WebProductList_RC.xml

I suspect my XP host lacks <insert components here?>
