Hi Chrishajer , not sure that i can install the latest V4 , as i am using wordpress for Microsoft iis and sql .. the latest version i can find for that is 3.6.1 .. unless some one can tell me how to install v4 .. i did try before but it seemed to break my installation … perhaps i am missing something ?
