 * Hi All,
    One of my clients needs to install a blog, and of course I recommended
   WordPress. He does not think it can be installed on his server. Here is what 
   he said.
 * “Platform is Windows Server 2003, running IIS. The server uses ms-sql as database
   and microsoft dotnet framework 2.0 (aspx) .(We have our own dedicated co-located
   server and we manage all aspects of the box.)”
 * If you could let me know if WordPress can be installed on this server or not.
   And if so is there anything that needs to be done to having it work properly.
   
   Thanks in Advance! Brett

 * I’ve never used it, but it might work on their server rather than WP: [http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/](http://www.dotnetblogengine.net/)
