Anyone use this tool to upgrade their window 2003 server for hosting?My win 2003 is still running older version of IIS,PHP and asp.net.I wonder would it cause problem to older php or asp.net coding.

I have tried this in my windows vps, but it didn't work. According to swsoft, it won't work in VM environment. As far coding concern, I don't suppose, it should return any problem if php and asp upgraded along with IIS

We haven't used it for Windows 2003 environment as we have our own template with pre-installed components. However, I've used it for Windows 2008 environment and it works well - both on dedi and Hyper-V VM.

Makes core web components very easy to install, esp. PHP.

Saves alot of headaches in the long run

It does work flowless with Hyper-V VM I can assure that as well. But it doesn't work with VZ.
