How do I use the script, better, where should I type these lines??? and run….
the complete script is singe command copy and paste in to command prompt to start the installation
Hey I tried to copy and paste the script, but that didn’t work, so I had to manually type the whole thing out and check for misspellings. Final, no error messages appeared, when I hit enter, I’m back to C:\Users\Admin>
So I checked http://localhost and I still get nothing?
I went back to IIS and checked all the boxes from the selection and I still get nothing. I’m stuck.
