My Installation Guidance of the Web Client Software Factory on Windows Vista

My Installation Guidance of the Web Client Software Factory on Windows Vista

The Web Client Software Factory brings you installation documentation. However, when I decided to install it on Vista, I noticed some difference/ problems. So this version is the merger between the official documentation and my experience. I post here only the installation section. You can find the whole installation guidance with this link: (the content of the environment configuration section is the same plus some screenshots)

Installation
