Manual talk:Installation on Uniform Server (Windows)/archive

Goals

 * The goals of this procedure are:
 * to have one article that provides a quick and easy procedure to install MediaWiki on as many versions of Windows as possible,
 * to allow the installation to be portable on a small and inexpensive device, and
 * to allow the optional features of MediaWiki to be enabled later.
