The version is 4.6 , the permissions setting was not a problem ( I manually changed it to be wide open, but this did not resolve the issue). I have since found a better solution. Under IIS Web site properties, on the document tab, I added the default document "default.aspx" (this did not exist). If this default document is added then the parameters will be passed to the proper webpage.
Just to add, I resolved this by visiting IIS and changing the default pages. To start with the list includes things like index.html, index.htm, default.asp, etc. I removed them all and added Default.aspx.
It should not be neccesary to remove the other default pages. Just add default.aspx and it should be fine. Then you can always change the sorting order to accomodate what you would like IIS to show first if for instance default.html and default.aspx are present in the webfolder.
Install page failing on first click- Resolved
When installing Umbraco, I was not getting anywhere when I first clicked the button on
http://localhost/install/default.aspx ;
Upon further examination I found that the click was linking to:
http://localhost/install/?installStep=license
I manually changed this to http://localhost/install/default.aspx?installStep=license ; for this and for all following steps and was able to complete successfully.
[Not really a question, but it was information I thought might be helpful to someone]
Hi Dan
What version of Umbraco have you experienced this problem on? And are you sure all permissions has been set properly?

Hi Dan
Glad to hear you found a solution. Just out of curiosity what version of IIS are you using?

Version 4.6.1 using the WebPI

Hope this makes sense.

Hi Jan,
Makes perfect senses yes. I could have added the Default.aspx and left the others as is - I was just being thorough. :-)
Thanks

Hi Richard
That's also good to be sometimes :-) What version of IIS are you using? (I'm curious, since I have never had this issue).
