Web Platform Installer is the fastest and easiest way to have a running Drupal site on Windows, but there are some scenarios where you might prefer to install your web site manually. This webcast is also a great opportunity to look in detail at the steps that are needed to deploy your web site, adding a set of new tools to your troubleshooting skills.

In case you might also want to try the demos in a virtual machine, just download your free copy of Windows Server trial edition and run it on your favorite virtualization software, on Windows, Mac or Linux.

If you have any questions please contact @alexpilotti or @gracefr.
