Whether Web Platform Installer 5.0 can be installed in production SharePoint 2010 mysites machine

Dear all,
I have sharepoint 2010 and VisualStudio 2010SP1 in my production machine. mysites is running in this box. 
My doubt is; I am trying to open a project which was created in VS 2012 - which was saved to framework 4.0. When i am trying to open it - it is asking me to install web platform installer 5.0. It also tells me that it will install IIS7.5 express and use
that instead of the default asp.net details.
I have Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard IIS(version 7.5.7600.16385) 
is it safe to install web plaform installer 5.0 
any inputs are welcome.
thanks
Sathya

Hi Sathya,
It doesnot matter whether your server installs  web platform installer 5.0 or not. The point is that after istalling the web platform installer 5.0, it will "upgrade" your IIS to 7.5 express automatically. But it should not upgrade as your
IIS version is 7.5 .
For your issue, please edit your project as below:
Step 1
Open solution file (.sln) in a text editor and change
 Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 12.00
to
 Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 11.00
Step 2
Open application configuration file (App.config) in a text editor and change
sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.5"
to
sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"
Step 3
Open project file (for C# language .csproj) in a text editor and change
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>
to
<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>

  • Multiple SQL instance's in Web Platform installer

    Hi Team,
    Why it is not possible to install multiple instance's in Microsoft Web Platform Installer?
    Or any options to customize the SQL Instance name during the installation through Web platform installer?
    Kind Regards,
    Arun

    Hi Arun,
    Microsoft Web Platform Installer runs a basic default installation, when you install SQL Server through Web Platform Installer, it uses default configuration values in installing process , including using the default instance name ’SQLExpress’. If you want
    to change the SQL Server instance name or install additional SQL Server instances on your computer, you will need to perform a custom installation, then you can obtain SQL Server Express from the
    Microsoft Download Center. For more details, please review this blog:
    How should I Install SQL Server 2008.
    In addition, if you have other questions about Web Platform Installer. I suggest you post the question in the Web Platform Installer forums at
    http://forums.iis.net/1155.aspx/1?Web+Platform+Installer . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    Thanks,

  • Can we install PowerPivot for SharePoint on a SQL cluster?

    We are going to deploy SharePoint 2013 with PowerPivot for SharePoint (installed from SQL Server media). According to what I've read out there for a small or medium farm, the recommendation is to install PowerPivot for SharePoint on
    every SharePoint application server in the farm. However, accoding to the licensing doc I've pasted below, PowerPivot can be run outside the SharePoint farm. We are going with SQL Server 2012 Enterprise edition. PowerPivot requires a SQL
    Server license for each server. To save money on licenisng, can we install PowerPivot for SharePoint on the 2 SQL Server cluster nodes (as a separate instance of course)?

    Hi Vincent,
    PowerPivot for SharePoint is an Analysis Services instance in tabular mode. This
    whitepaper mentions that clustering Analysis Services in SharePoint-integrated mode is not supported (page 8 under SSAS Server Modes.) You can, however, install it as a standalone
    instance on the nodes of the cluster and let SharePoint handle the load balancing.
    My apologies for the confusion on installing the SharePoint binaries on the PowerPivot instance. You don't need to install the SharePoint binaries if it is outside of the SharePoint farm. I was looking at my build documentation where I have both Reporting
    Services and PowerPivot on the same machine with the same reason - reduce licensing cost - and similar to the 3-tier topology but with all of the service application and content databases on the database tier.
