DotNetNuke Installation from Binaries

1. Download the Binaries from CodePlex
2. Extract the Binaries to a folder (UNC Paths require extra care)
3. Go into the Security tab in the folder properties
4. Give [machine name]ASPNET  full control on Windows XP, Windows 2000
5. Give [machine name]Network Service full control on Vista, Windows 7 and Server 2003 or above
6. Within IIS create an application (you may need to make a virtual directory first) and give it Read/Write/Execute Permissions (TODO: Verify this is correct – for my Dev Machines it works fine…)
7. Navigate to http://[machine name/[dnn location] and run the setup wizard
8. If building a cluster, once this is done, just copy the files to the other server… (TODO: This may be wrong)

This sets up an environment I can develop in.
