Automatic installation of WebDNA by hosting clients?

numero = 61764
interpreted = N
texte = There are tons of scripts available in PHP and MySQL that can easily be installed by individual hosting clients. This makes some very polished and professional scripts work "out of the box" immediately after the client installs the software. I would like to be able to tell a client that he can just as easily install WebDNA into his folder hierarchy on the server, and then he can immediately begin using WebDNA. Unfortunately I don't think SmithMicro has ever developed a version that auto-installs as soon as it is uploaded to the server. Or have they? The bottom line here is that I need a way to convince my client to use WebDNA, but he doesn't want to go for it unless I can tell him that he can install it himself, EASILY, on nearly any hosting service he decides to use in the future -- or that his hosting service can install it easily with virtually no configuration requirements. Please comment if you have a suggestion, otherwise I'll have to tell him to use PHP and MySQL instead of WebDNA ... not a new thing to recommend to clients like this of course, but I get really frustrated to see so little attention being paid to things like this -- which are very important to our ability to help SMSI sell their software.
