Remove WebPI references

Browse Source 
SQL Server is still community supported, and we have IIS 7+ in our “server requirements”, which won’t change.
But the WebPI installer is rarely used in practice, and doesn’t provide the best user experience for Windows users
compared to other installation options. Given it sucks up time on every release process. this should be removed.

done through [WampServer](http://www.wampserver.com/en/). This can be useful if you are deploying on Linux Apache and
want a Microsoft Windows machine with a very similar environment.
Note: Installing on Microsoft's IIS webserver through Microsoft WebPI is likely to be easier, see
[Windows with Web Platform Installer](other_installation_options/windows_platform_installer).
## Install WAMP
1. Go to the [WampServer download page](http://www.wampserver.com/en/#download-wrapper).

# Windows with Web Platform Installer (WebPI)
(Windows XP, 2003, 2008, Vista and 7)
## Installing SilverStripe
* Download and run Microsoft Web Platform Installer (WebPI):
[![](http://www.silverstripe.org/assets/downloads/webpi/wpiBadgeGreen.png)](http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appsxml=www.microsoft.com%2fweb%2fwebpi%2f2.0%2fWebApplicationList.xml&appid=105)
* In WebPI, select 'SilverStripe' from the 'Content Management System' link
* Select install. It will install dependancies like MySQL and PHP if you don't have these installed already.
* Type in the questions it asks you, such as the username/password you set in the above MySQL installation:
* Everything should be installed, with you seeing the initial webpage
* And you can log-in to the CMS
## Important: Installation issue on XP
After you've installed SilverStripe on XP using WebPI. You'll need to make a configuration change to get it working.
Specifically, you need to configure XP not to check that a script file exists before executing the script. This is
necessary for URLs of the form http://localhost/silverstripe/index.php/about-us/ to work.
* Open IIS Administrator
* Expand the local computer tree node
* Expand the Web Sites tree node
* Right click on "Default Web Site" and select "Properties"
* Select the "Home Directory" Tab.
* Click the "Configuration Button towards the bottom on the right
* Select the "Mappings" Tab
* Find the .php mapping, select it and click the "Edit" button
* Make sure the check box "Check that file exists" is cleared.
* Hit OK's all the way back up and restart IIS
