Introduction

Umbraco is a very simple application to install. However, you will need to install or configure a number of software packages on your computer, if they are not already installed. These pre-requisites are the Windows Vista equivalents of the packages that would be installed and configured on web and database servers by your IT department or web hosting provider.

These instructions will show every step in detail, for those who are unfamiliar with Windows system administration tasks. If you have already installed some software packages you may skip those steps, though we recommend you review the settings to confirm your configuration.
