I am attempting to install Umbraco to try it out. I would like to use Visual Studio 2010. I am having a number of issues with both the Web Platform Installer and with the manual install. I have been able to launch the default.aspx page and start the installation process. After I choose a starter kit (Business Starter Kit) - I'm getting a 'The given key was not present in the dictionary.' error. This is a brand new / clean install. Even if I try to build the site using Visual Studio - I get a 'Could not load type 'Runway.Blog.usercontrols.AjaxCommentForm'.
I'd strongly suggest to use the either web pi, or perform a manual install (using the binaries which can be downloaded from codeplex) to install an umbraco installation and give a wirl before trying to build and install umbraco from source.
From there on, have a look at the free video's available on umbraco.tv to get a head start on using umbraco.

I cant get the web platform installation to work either. its been a pleasure trying to get this set up - and all I want to do is evaluate the cms.
Here are my initial set up values:
Can you check to see if the user account that your app pool is running under has permissions to access that directory/file?
