    Hi, I want to install WordPress MU on IIS7.5 but I can't find any advice on how to install the prerequisites - php & mysql.

    I tried this step-by-step, something called XAMPP which installed but did not work for me and left me with the distict impression maybe it wasn't the solution for side-by-side install with IIS7.5

    On a seperate server I used the platform installer and wordpress which worked very well, and left me with the ability to run .php and .aspx pages side by side which is exactly what I need.

    I guess my next thought is perhaps I can use the platform installler to install wordpress, php and mysql then somehow switch out wordpress for wordpress mu? I sooo wish wordpress my had the platform installer!!!

    thanks for any advice,
    cheers
