How can I install Application Request Routing ARR 3.0 in Windows 10 Preview? - iis

When I try to Install Application Request Routing I get an error "IIS Version 7.0 or greater is required to install Microsoft Application Request Rounting 3.0". Windows 10 has IIS 10.0, so it should be possible, but I guess that Microsoft hasn't fixed the version check yet. Are there any workarounds available for this?
Windows version: Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview. Build 10074.

Bit of hacky solution if it suits your requirement.
Open MSI file in tool called ORCA and remove Launch condition (highlighted in screenshot) as show in screenshot. Save modified MSI and use it for installing on Win10 preview machine.

Azure virtual machine with older version of windows 10

I know how to make and use a VM on Microsoft Azure with VS 2017 and latest version of windows 10 already installed and use it to develop or test uwp apps. but the problem is, my own laptop is usually on insider build and I am making uwp apps which have min support for creators update, so in order to make sure my app run fine on creators update, I need a machine which has Windows 10 creators update installed on it.
But azure always provides machines with latest versions installed only, right now it is fall creators update, soon it will be spring creators update. how can I make a VM on azure with visual studio 2017 installed, but I can choose to select an older version of windows 10 for testing purposes of my app?
But azure always provides machines with latest versions installed only
It is similar to local machine that develop and test uwp apps. If you install the VS2017 with default options, it will only support SDK that matches the current operating system version. You could open Visual Studio Installer click Modify button select individual components and check older SDK you want use like follow screenshot.
You could modify your app's target version for testing after installed the old SDK.
Update
Conditional XAML is available starting with the Creators Update (version 1703, build 15063). To use conditional XAML, the Minimum Version of your Visual Studio project must be set to build 15063 (Creators Update) or later, and the Target Version be set to a later version than the Minimum.
If you want to install older version of windows 10 in the azure virtual machine, Please refer Use Windows client in Azure for dev/test scenarios.

Where's the Azure SDK version 2.9?

In late March Microsoft announced the release of the Azure SDK version 2.9.
On that page, as well as from within Visual Studio 2015, I'm invited to download and install it.
If I do so, the Web Platform Installer (5.0) fires up and shows me this:
That's strange...I don't want version 2.8.2...I already have it.
So I click the "back" button in Web Platform Installer and try to find 2.9 manually. At the time of writing, I'm seeing this:
That is, in the Web Platform Installer's list of products, version 2.9 is not there.
I'm on Windows 10 and using Visual Studio 2015 (with the latest update 2). My Web Platform Installer is version 5 and its primary feed is set as "default". Normally I have no problems installing an updated Azure SDK in this way.
I tried deleting the installer cache in Web Platform Installer (no help).
Can anybody give me a hint as to what might be happening here? Is anybody able to reproduce it (not finding v2.9 in the products list on WPI) on their machines? Could it be possible that v2.9 has been accidentally removed from the MS servers...any way to check this directly at the source?
For some reason it is not shown in the Web installer. This are the steps to fix it:
1 run a reset on the installer:
"%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer\WebPlatformInstaller.exe" /reset
2 run the following registry fix:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WebPlatformInstaller]
"Install"=dword:00000001
"ProductXMLLocation"="http://www.microsoft.com/web/webpi/5.0/webproductlist.xml"
This seems to be a known issue. See the comments on this page:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/announcing-visual-studio-azure-tools-and-sdk-2-9/
Please search "2.9" in Web Platform Installer search pane. You will be able to see "Microsoft Azure SDK for .Net (VS2013)-2.9.6" in searched results.

What IIS Express options do I select for download?

I am running VS 2013 Community Ed. on Windows 7 64-bit. The following is my use case:
I am developing in Dynamics CRM 2011 and have downloaded Sencha CMD to add functionality to my solutions. I was advised to also download IIS Express.
I have figured out the version to download but am unsure of the options to check for the download.
The following is a screenshot of the options:
Some advisement would be great.
When you're running x64 version of Windows then it's best to download the second one.

5.2 and Windows 10 compatibility release

I know this isnt a dev question per se, but is there a timeline on a 5.2 build that can be installed on Win 10?
I think the issue i am seeing is just with the installer so an in place upgrade to Win 10 might work fine, but a clean install fails as it doesnt acknowledge IIS 10 or whatever version comes with Win 10.
Thanks!
Official answer - Windows 10 is not yet supported by the currently available Acumatica ERP installers, however the issue has already been fixed internally (AC-56069 - fixed in 4.20.2262, 5.10.0785, 5.20.1012 and newer). Following workaround can be used in the meantime:
Download the Orca tool to edit the MSI file: http://adriank.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Orca.zip
Open the
MSI file using this tool (might be able to right click on MSI and
open with Orca)
Go to the LaunchCondition table
Drop/delete the IIS version condition (inside MSI, the LaunchCondition entry is IISVERSION >="#7"; system does a string comparison and "10" is
smaller than "7")
Save and close Orca
Run the setup
I can't give you an "official" answer but I can give you a work around.
If you download a utility called LessMSI you can extract the installation files. They will come out in a folder called "SourceDir". Simply take these and replace the files in your default installation folder or run them from another location.
Then you can proceed as normal.
The installer only checks if pre-reqs are installed and then copy's the files to the output location. If you have IIS already setup with dotnet support then the rest will be fine.
I do this frequently if I have to install a site with a specific version in order to upgrade or test a client's snapshot.
I have 4.1,4.2,5.1,5.2 running on my Windows 10 workstation as I type

service bus 1.0 not showing up in windows platform installer 4.5

I am trying to install Service Bus 1.0 on my developer machine. When i am searching for "Service Bus 1.0" in the web platform installer 4.5, it is not able to find it.
I downloaded .exe file manually from http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=252361. When the setup runs, it gives me an error message in Web Platform Installer that "Microsoft web platform installer couldn't find the product you tried to install. Either the link you clicked is incorrect or you may be overriding you feed with different feed."
I checked my feed and it is set to "default".
My operating system is windows 7 SP1 Enterprise Edition.
VS 2010 and V2012 installed. I also have SQL Server 2008 R2 Express
Any idea what is causing this problem?
It turned out that my OS is 32 bit and it requires 64 bit OS.
