Greatness!
I downloaded and installed Wordpress on my machine using the Web Platform Installer last week and it went out, got WordPress and PHP and installed them both on my machine in minutes! It would have taken me an hour to get it all set up. It even created and installed the MySQL DB for me and set up the web folder on IIS. But it does require you having MySQL already installed. If you do not have MySQL it will give you a link to a page on IIS.net with instructions on where to get it and install it. Once everything was installed I went typed the localhost address into my browser and everything worked fine!

This is a fantastic tool that MS has released. I will definitely be using it a lot!
