The acronym WIMP is a solution stack of software, partially free and open source software, used to run dynamic Web sites on servers. The expansion is as follows:

Windows, referring to the operating system;
IIS, the Web server;
MySQL, MS SQL Server or MS Access, the database management system (or database server);
PHP or others, e.g. the Perl, Python, PowerShell programming languages.^[1]

The Microsoft Web Platform Installer is a tool to install applications on a WIMP-system.
