Microsoft is offering a free download manager, Web Platform Installer 1.0, intended to make it simpler to install Microsoft Web developer technologies ranging from .Net Framework 3.5 to ASP.Net to Silverlight and more, the company said this week.
The tool installs Microsoft's entire Web Platform, including Internet Information Server, Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition and SQL Server 2008 Express Edition. With the installer interface, developers can install either specific products or the entire Web Platform.
