All those who love Microsoft’s web technologies are aware of their web Platform Installer. I use it for various things, such as testing to see if certain technologies will work with a particular operating system, installing and configuring different web applications (Mojo Portal is available, just for everyone’s information), or just checking out the available apps to see if any of them will come in handy someday. This tool was never quite accessible all the way through for screen readers simply due to it’s layout, but upon the update from version 2.0 to 3.0, things have gotten even worse in that regard. But, no one, whether sighted or not, should worry about anything ... CMD comes to the rescue! Microsoft has put on their official IIS site (Official Microsoft IIS Site) a blog entry that gives an overview of this tool, and there’s more on MSDN. And not to mention, in a way, this tool is probably faster since once the commands are entered, things just happen and also in some instances, text without all of the graphical fluff getting in the way really helps folks who want results quickly check their progress. You can download the tool WebPiCmdLine tool download link. Good luck to all those who want to have an easier time using Microsoft’s web technologies.
