+How to install Kanboard on Windows Server?
+==========================================
+
+Windows 2008/2012 with IIS
+---------------------------
+
+### PHP installation
+
+- Install IIS on your server (Add new role and don't forget to enable CGI/FastCGI)
+- Install PHP by following the official documentation:
+    - [Microsoft IIS 5.1 and IIS 6.0](http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis6.php)
+    - [Microsoft IIS 7.0 and later](http://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis7.php)
+    - [PHP for Windows is available here](http://windows.php.net/download/)
+
+After the installation check if PHP runs correctly:
+
+Go the IIS document root `C:\inetpub\wwwroot` and create a file `phpinfo.php`:
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+phpinfo();
+
+?>
+```
+
+Open a browser at `http://localhost/phpinfo.php` and you should see the current PHP settings.
+If you got an error 500, something is not correctly done in your installation.
+
+Notes:
+
+- If you use PHP < 5.4, you have to enable the short tags in your php.ini
+- Don't forget to enable the required php extensions: `pdo_sqlite` and `mbstring`
+- If you got an error about "the library MSVCP110.dll is missing", you probably need to download the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio from the Microsoft website.
+
+### Kanboard installation
+
+- Download the zip file
+- Uncompress the archive in `C:\inetpub\wwwroot\kanboard` by example
+- Make sure the directory `data` is writable by the IIS user
+- You are done, open your web browser to use Kanboard
+
+### Tested configuration
+
+- Windows 2008 R2 Standard Edition / IIS 7.5 / PHP 5.5.16
+- Windows 2012 Standard Edition / IIS 8.5 / PHP 5.3.29
