GeneralVS2017 re-install again (and IIS rant) (and about ACME and SNI and Let's Encrypt) Pin

The first time, it just plain stopped working. Uninstall. Re-install.

This time, the splash screen would come up, the computer would beep, and the splash screen would vanish.

Uninstall. Re-install.

This happened after adding the Python support "workflow." Then again, I was also trying (unsuccessfully) to install IIS 8 Express, which involved taking a chainsaw to Programs and Features and various services, I'm surprised I didn't do more damage.

Funny that (not really) -- IIS 8 Express finally installed (it claimed I was running a new version of "IIS 8", and P&F claimed I had IIS 10 installed, but IIS's about said "7.5") so I nuked various things, IIS 8 installed finally, but the about box still stays 7.5.

Now I know why people like *nix dev for websites. IIS just seems like such a piece of crap. Cute graphics, front end gives you the feeling that it's a professional app, but it's a confusing, unwieldy bastard child.

Still, I intend to master it. (That's doesn't mean learn it. I mean make it subservient to my wishes.)

Why do I want IIS 8, you ask? Because I'm playing around with Let's Encrypt (free SSL certs) and I want to have multiple websites come in on the same IP, because I want to host some simple stuff from home rather than paying Amazon, and starting with IIS 8, SNI is supported, which is one of those "oh crap, certificate handshaking is done with the IP, not the domain, WTF do we do now???" solutions that got added as an afterthought (not IIS' fault in this case.)

I smell a couple articles in the future. Assuming I can get all this silliness to work. BTW, if you're looking for a good cert generator for Let's Encrypt, use Frank Hommers' fork of acme.net, as it actually compiles and works under VS2017. The thing it was forked from has some other project file format and wouldn't build and I wasn't going to figure out why.

That was interesting, as I came across the original acme.net and the author never made it .csproj compatible, so I decided to look at the forks, and what-do-you-know? Kudo's to GitHub for how forks are visible from the main project.
