Umbraco CMS 5.0 CTP 1 installation skips some steps and does not populate DB
I wish to try Umbraco CMS 5.0 CTP 1 since it has a good reputation.
Since im into ASP MVC 3, I thought I would try to install the preview
of V5. I know this might be buggy, but I did expect that I could
install it properly, but that was not correct.
I start the installation vizard, go through step 1- 3.
In step 3 I add my DB information (which I know works), and go to the next step.
Then it looks like everything is OK, and I get this message:
The Umbraco database is being configured. This process populates
your chosen database with a blank Umbraco instance. Installation
completed!
But when I look in my DB I see no tables, so something did not go as
planned. I then click "Continue". And now I arrive at step 5 (step 4 was
skipped).
Step 5 says "Install a Starter kit", with a HUGE button with the text
"Dev data set". I click this button, and installation is completed.
I now have 2 choices, "Preview your new website" and "Set up your new
website". If I click on "Set up your new website" I return to step 1 of
the installation vizard.
What might go wrong? I tried looking into the log file, but I did not find anything of interest to me.
Server: Windows 2008
SQL: SQL Server 2008
MVC3 installed, ASP.NET 4 installed.
Still no luck, I followed step 3 on the page you referenced. I also found out that most of the dll's where already in the Jupiter bin folder. Might there be some kind of permission problem?
I did check the log file now, and I saw this error, does it make any sense for you guys?

Okay, I did grant "Everyone" all permissions on the Umbraco folder, and now it looks like it works.
The installation did take a bit longer time, as it imported dev data to the database. But the vizard still skips the step where the user is supposed to be created, and also where I can select skin.
That is the expected behavour as the user is hardcoded in the CTP admin/test, so there is no create user step. Similar with the skins, there is a just a basic runway skin that comes with the devdataset.

Hi Martin,
I'm not sure, but I think the CTP only works with SQL CE 4. Maybe give that a try and see how you get on.

I have tried to download and install this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17876.
But I still get the same problem..
Do I have to copy any binary files from the SQL CE 4 folder to my Jupiter bin folder?
Should have been some kind of installation guide for version 5 of Umbraco :)
Did you check http://umbraco.codeplex.com/releases/view/68327 ?
Yes, that is the place from where I downloaded the package. I have also followed the few instructions on the site, but still no luck.
ok, in which case I think your question "Do I have to copy any binary files from the SQL CE 4 folder to my Jupiter bin folder" is the key.
try http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/using-sql-ce-4-with-umbraco-46

Glad you got it up and running though.
