DotNetNuke Installation Trouble Shooting

• If you are using windows VISTA, prior to unzipping the file, change the file property settings. You need to "unblock" the file. This is under the general settings tab.
• Read the readme file. It has importatant instructions like renaming files and setting up security. For example, rename release.config to web.config.
• Grant access to the database folder to NETWORKSERICE
• You may need to coment out the ScriptModule references in the WebConfig. You will know when you get an error.
• wizard i infiinte loop at "Run Database Installation Scripts"

Once you gotten to the page with "infinite loop" track back using back button
up to the initial page and select Auto instead. At that point your connection
string and other settings are already saved to web.config, so Auto will
just run and do what you wanted. Not sure why, but on local machine, it
always gives me that problem. I never had it out on a remote server,
though. Also, it is hardly an infinite loop. It seems to me that the wizard
just dies internally for some odd reason and, since I got the workaround, I
just don't care to dig any deeper. :)
