Web Platform Installer successor?

Question

Hello, I am a full-stack programmer and I used WPI, now that it is discontinued I would like to know if there is any tool that can replace it, that allows me to manage my IIS server together with my websites locally, manage PHP and local MySQL databases in an integrated platform.

Solution Stack for Windows

Server:

• New IIS (Win Server 2022 GUI)

Languages and Frameworks:

• PHP (Joomla, Lavarel, Symfony, Magento, Zend, Wordpress)
• .NET (Core, Razor, Blazor, MVC)
• JavaScript (Angular, Node, Vue)

Database:

• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio
• SQL Azure
• SAP HANA

IIS Server Manager:

• FTP Built-in
• Database Manager
• PHP Manager For IIS
• URL Rewrite

With a platform like this, it can not only compete with WampServer, but it would also be the ideal system for full-stack programmers and local website administrators.

My cordial greetings.

Hi @Skylär Astaröt,

As far as I know, there is no official mention of an explicit replacement tool. The product installers are pulled from the Microsoft download center.

In addition, you can try community based solutions like Chocolatey or Microsoft driven winget mentioned by Lex Li. For more details, please refer to Web Platform Installer - End of support and sunsetting the product/application feed.

Best regards,

I think it is better that Microsoft buy the WampServer project and make it its own for Full-Stack developers, command line scripts are from the last century, we are in the year 2023.
