How can I install WebMatrix 3 in a standalone PC?


I need to install webmatrix 3 in a pc without internet connection.

I have win7 64bit.

so i downloaded webmatrix x64 exe and all his dependencies and services exe/msi files - include web platform installer.

I installed all and run the webmatrix app but an message box pop up and said that I need to have the latest webPI installed (4.6 in this days..). But it is a problem because the wpilauncher.exe file (webPI installer file) install version 4.0 for some reaseon, i think it because I dont have internet accsess.

so? help, thx.


Solution

  • WebMatrix needs an active internet connection to install since it pulls in some other required services from the Web Platform Installer.

    Quote:

    "..WebMatrix needs other components installed to function correctly, and those are all pulled in by Web Platform Installer automatically. In that sense, the true installer is not really "offline"."
