hi- for the person who reported web pi crash, or stop working after launch. We are investigating reports of this now but it has proven elusive as it appears sporadically on win7 and vista machines and seems to be linked to UAC. To work around the bug, launch Web PI as an elevated user. Once you have successfully launched it as elevated user, it should go away and launch normally (prompting you as usual to elevated).

I get the following error as I start the installation of WebPI. Any thoughts on how to get around it?

[Window Title]

Microsoft Windows

[Main Instruction]

Web Platform Installer has stopped working

[Content]

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

[Close program]

Installer hung during the download process of Silverlight Tools for Visual Studio. A quick look at your log gives me the following information,

[02/04/09,15:26:04] BITS_Bitrate: 0x2

[02/04/09,15:26:04] vs70uimgr: Failed to find ISmallProgress interface on page. Not treating as error.

[02/04/09,15:26:05] vs70uimgr: Failed to find ISmallProgress interface on page. Not treating as error.

it goes on and on like an infinite loop.

When I choose Cancel installation, it shows me the following message box,

---------------------------

Quit

---------------------------

The current installation must be completed before exiting. Would you like to exit after the installation is complete?

---------------------------

Yes No

---------------------------

Both 'Yes' and 'No' did not worked for me.

Any idea?

That project was one of the inspirations for Web PI! It is a great open source project!

I am getting an error when installing, "Web Platform Installer has stopped working" It gives me the option to either Debug or Close Program. What could cause it to fail? Thanks!

I see, now I understand where the confusion comes in. Unfortunately IIS ships as part of the operating system and isn't available for download. So you're stuck with the version of IIS that came with the OS. However, there are extensions to every version of IIS that are available in the tool. For example, FastCGI is available for every platform. Hope this helps -
