Hi Guys,
I recently made the switch to IIS and do most of my development on PHP and Joomla.
When i try to install Joomla from webmatrix gallery and select mssql, even before it can download the package it always fails with the below error. If i use mysql it works well.
Please tell me how i can rectify this problem. I have also installed drivers 3.0 for ms sql for php 5.3.
