Unable to download the Web PLatform product list?

_{Saturday, April 9, 2011 9:03 AM}

 I am currently online and have a full DSL connection, however everytime I try and run the Web Platform Installer it states the following:

"Unable to download the Web Platform product list from . Check your network connection and try again (been trying forever). If the problem persists, report the issue on the Web Platform Installer forum...."

 Help! I've just created and hosted my site and would love to actually be able to see and use it with Wordpress.

Hello,

Thank you selecting the Web Platform Products.

Sorry your having issues.

Please look at this guide http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/604/troubleshooting-problems-with-microsoft-web-platform-installer-20/ .

In particular look at the section for IE,Proxy and settings.

If you have more errors please post the web platform error messages from the WebPI log to the Forum.

Thank You,

Martin

Well.. I know we behind firewalls and the connection from the application won’t work or wouldn't even be allowed… Any other way to download this Web Platform product list manually and point the program to it?

Hello,

Thank you for selecting the Web Platform.

Sorry your having problems. 

What Web Platform products do you want to install?

If you have problems with Firewalls and Internet Connections many of the

Web Platform products have stand-alone installers that can be used to get the Products you desire or need.

Well, you could download it manually and point WebPI at it directly, but once it's running, will WebPI be able to access the internet to download the apps/products?

You can point your browser at http://www.microsoft.com/web/webpi/3.0/webproductlist.xml and View Source -> save to disk

Then you can create the following registry key:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WebPlatformInstaller

Key: ProductXMLLocation

Value: <path to your local copy>

Problem is, you'll actually need to download the remaining 4 feeds (all referenced from the feed above), save them locally and then update the path in the locally-saved WebProductList.xml

Thanks

you asked <... but once it's running, will WebPI be able to access the internet to download the apps/products? >

 Nope... I am behind very stringed firewalls and network topology..

Also I am assuming you mean to create this "value" under WebPlatFormInstaller Key in the registery "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebPlatformInstaller"... correct? <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

Correct on the key - hope that works with your FW/proxy configuration

Thanks

any solutions? I installed this package and installation went fine. I get an error when I try to open it from the IIS when it tries to connect to internet. Thanks

Hi,

The Web Platform Tool http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/616/using-the-microsoft-web-platform-installer/ user guide.

You can download many of the products from the Microsoft Download Center.

Edit: Use the Search in the  Download Center http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/default.aspx .

my problem is that I don't have internet connection and I need a full installation package if there is one. it's for windows 2008R2 - 64 bit environment. Thanks Martin

Hi satavi,

The Web Platform Tool GUI or CMD line using the product list will require an interent connection.

You will need an Interent Connection to download the Full installation packages.

There is no way around the requirements. For some of the products downloads  Windows Geniune Verfication will be required..

You should use another system that has a Broad Band Network connection to download the installers.

The Microsoft Download Center Link was in the previous post and you can search for the installers.

Thank you Martin.

Hi,

Did you Search the Microsoft Download Center

Example for  IIS Express "iisexpress_1_10_x86_en-US.msi"

 http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=1038 ?

Example for SQL Server 2008  Express downloads for X86 X64 systems full installs.

 http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26729

Yes The Web Platform 3.0 installer will try to connect to the internet for the product list.

Hi @ satavi,

If you stiil having issues create a new post  "Web Products full package installers problems".

Thanks, 

Martin

Once you download the MSI directly (http://forums.iis.net/t/1178551.aspx) you'll still an internet connection to use the product - WebPI requires an internet connection to install products

For your scenario, we've released a preview of the updated WebPICMD.exe (http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/1072/web-platform-installer-v4-command-line-webpicmdexe-preview-release/) that you can use to generate an offline feed (do this on a server that has internet access) and then use WebPI to connect to the offline feed to install products on your server that doesn't have internet access
