 Please observe the updated software requirements if you are using .net and/or IIS configuration:
 
- * IIS (all versions) require FastCGI to be installed. See [http://www.iis.net/download/FastCGI this link] for more information
- * The supported .net Framework version for the MapGuide .net API is 4.0
-   * For IIS6 and below, the installer will still set the ASP.net version to 2.0.50727. You will have to manually change the ASP.net version to 4.0.30319 post-install

 All bundled samples require the [http://download.osgeo.org/mapguide/releases/2.0.2/samples/Sheboygan.mgp Sheboygan dataset] to be loaded into the MapGuide Server. For Developer's Guide samples, the developer's guide data package needs to be loaded. These can be found in the root directories of the respective devguide samples in your MapGuide Web Tier installation.
 
-Finally, due to coordinate system dictionary paths no longer tied to a global environment variable (RFC 122) a mandatory system reboot after installation is no longer required for all supported versions of Windows. However, a restart of Apache and/or IIS may be required for PHP to work.

 == Known Issues ==
 
  * The installer will not remove the IIS virtual directories correctly if you specified a different virtual directory in IIS. For example, if you install with a virtual directory of "mapguide24" it will still remove the "mapguide" virtual directory on uninstall. 
+ * IIS7.x: The installer does not properly configure the mapviewernet, dotnetviewersample and dotnetsamples directories as IIS applications if you enable such features in the installer. Workaround is to manually create these applications with IIS manager afterwards.
  * An asp.net security setting prevents selection XML from being set from the .net viewer (#1984). The current workaround is to add the following line to web.config for the mapviewernet directory under the {{{<system.web>}}} configuration section:
 {{{<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />}}}
  * PHP Viewer and Developer's Guide samples will not work if the PHP viewer feature is not enabled. Likewise for .net and Java. Nothing in the installer will prevent you from making such a choice.
- * For the IIS configuration or Bundled configuration with a custom http port, you will have to update the WFS and WMS server name configuration properties via the MapGuide Site Administrator after installation if you intend to use such features. This is currently set to localhost:8008 for both.
