Hi Peter. I was running a web front end virtual machine in Azure , running IIS. The "download the installer" link does not work. Is there an update? Looking for how to get started installing the httpPlatformHandler , maybe something changed? Thank you in advance.

Hi Neil, I tried the link again and I get redirected to the correct page with the extension: iis.net/downloads/microsoft/httppl...

Is this not working for you?

So when you click on the green "Install this extension" button, it takes me just to the gallery - webgallery.microsoft.com/gallery

Further reading looks like they are moving this to Core Net ? Seems like taking something that seemed to be very straightforward into something more complicated to implement. Would love to just be able to find the package to install. Let me know what you find. Or if clicking the green button takes you somewhere different. Thanks!

You can download the installer at the bottom of the page. That is how I installed it. I'm not sure if this extension is still being maintained but it does the job. You are right, I also read that they have moved to another module for .net core: github.com/aspnet/IISIntegration/i...

Oh wow! Thank you. I did not see that, tiny font vs BIG GREEN. Thanks again. Going to try it out tomorrow.

They did a good job trying to hide the installer 😀
