I wonder how to remove Web Matrix dependecy from web platform installer.
For example, I saw screencast “how to install wordpress with wpi” and there everything was fine without installinb Web Matrix. This IDE sucks, I have Visual Studio installed, so don’t want to install any web matrix components.
The same happens on installing blogEngine.net.
Has anybody dealed with this problem?

    When you install applications from the Web Application Gallery, Web Platform Installer will default to including WebMatrix if you are on a client OS (like Windows XP, Vista, or 7). This is so most users will be able to do something with the application once installed – assuming they don’t have Visual Studio already installed.

    Now, if you happen to not need WebMatrix, you can change this behavior – you can click on the Options link from within Web Platform Installer and change “Which Web Server would you like to use?” to IIS instead of WebMatrix – this will prevent the chaining in of WebMatrix.

    Hope this helps!
