Folks – while setting up some IIS servers for a BTS production environment I came
across this handy little tool.

Basically gives you a Tree View of what things you’d like to install on your IIS Web
Server from MS (mother ship).

Includes things like Service Packs, etc etc. – handy spot to grab all the new files
in one spot.
(as opposed to the piece meal approach – of install asp.net, oh you need
the .net 3.5 framework – install…oh…you also need SP1 ..with maybe a few reboots
inbetween)

– single place for all the tools and other components that you’ll need.

– great way to do them all at once.

Here’s what you’re after –
