Hi,

I have downloaded and setup WordPress for .Net4.0.
but when i am running this URL (http://localhost/wordpress/).
Then instead of running WordPress application, file download
dialog box is appeared with below message.
"Do u want to open or save this file (install.php)."

Do you refer to http://wpdotnet.com/ ?

This is common behaviour, when .php handler is not set correctly on your web server - solution would be specific to your current web server version?

Do you have IIS, IIS Express, or another web server?

"Do u want to open or save this file (install.php)."
dialog means, there is not .php file handler configured / or mime type for .php is not set.

If you download that file
- does it contain some <?php ?> code ? (=> .php handler missing)
- or is it pure HTML ? (=>mime type not set)

Thanks
