How can I install WebMatrix 3 in a standalone PC?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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"."

you can download offline installer from Web Platform Installer Run on your PC with internet connection WebMatrixWeb.exe, click Install You will see installation plan and download link on the right.

Answer 3

There's a link to an offline instaler for x86 available at download.microsoft.com/download/c/2/a/c2a485fa-013a-45ef-baba-c568e40f4b50/WebMatrix_x86_en-US.msi. Requires IIS 7.5 Express or IIS 8.0 Express.

I can see you've specifically asked for x64 version, but this might work for someone searching for x86 version.
