Upgrading Movable Type to 3.17 with XP, IIS, MySQL, and Perl (WIMP)

Tonight, I upgraded my website from Movable Type 3.15 to 3.17. I'm not really sure that I needed to, I just like to have the latest and greatest. I was hoping they would include some new functionality, but it still looks basically the same to me. I'm sure the differences will become clear to me later on, as I become more proficient with the application. In any event, here's my meticulous instructions on upgrading from Movable Type 3.15 to 3.17 using Windows XP Professional, Internet Information Services(IIS), MySQL, and Perl(WIMP). If you're running Linux, Apache Server, MySQL, and Perl(LAMP), the directions are pretty similar, just make sure you do a CHMOD on your Common Gateway Interface(CGI) scripts(.cgi) and set them to 755.
