The MSFT WPI is a tool that allows you to install quite a lot of web tools on your PC for offline use such as testing them before deploying online. Here's how you can install Wordpress on your PC using this utiltity:

1. Setup IIS, MySQL & phpMyAdmin.
2. Download the Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
3. Install PHP

To install PHP: Start WPI -> Web Platform -> check PHP 5.2.10
For Wordpress: WPI -> Web Applications –> Blogs -> check Wordpress -> Install.

Configuring the installation:





After installation, in your browser navigate to: localhost/wordpress (if your install directory was wordpress.)

Yep, there are quite a few alternatives, but the UI of WPI & one-click options for the number of internet based apps available supersedes the alternatives
