1. The Web Platform Installer lets you install other IIS components which are necessary for Aligned Elements. To install Web Platform Installer from the IIS Manager, first select the server(!) (the icon with globe and the server tower) in the connection list on the left side, and then click on Get Web Platform Components in the Actions list on the right side.

2. The Aligned Elements installer is available in a format that requires the command line tool “Web Deploy” for deployment, which needs to be installed before the installation can take place. Search for “Web Deploy” in the Web Platform Installer search field (upper right), select the latest available release of Web Deploy as displayed below and click Add.

More info on Web Deploy (and the download) can be found here:

Alternatively, download it directly from (english, x64)
