I have been trying to install umbraco 4.7.1 locally on my machine with no luck. I am using Windows Vista, IIS 7, SQL Server 2008 Express and Umbraco 4.7.1. So far I have tried the following to get the installation to work ---
Created a new host in the host file as 127.0.0.1 test.local.
Created and set up a new database and user in SQL.
Edited the umbracoDbDSN in web config with the sql information that I set up.
Set up the site in IIS with identity set to network service and gave full permission to network service.
When I go the local url I am presented with the install page however there appears to be no images or CSS in place as shown in the screen shot below ---
Any pointers or help would be great :) Thanks in advance.
Also make sure that you have the "Static Content" feature of IIS turned on. (Control Panel -> Programs -> Windows features -> Internet information service -> Common HTTP features).
Thank you very much for the replies. I had already given full permission to Network Service and could not get it to work, is this correct ? Also "Static Content" under Windows features was also turned on.
Think im getting to the bottom of it now. In IIS 7 I have Network Service added with full permissions. Do I need to add something like IIS APPPOOL\apppool name for example to set the correct permissions ?
Managed to get it working. These were my steps ---
1. In IIS double clicked on the server icon and selected ISAPI and CGI Restrictions. Then right click on ASP.NET v4.0 and hit allow. (Or you can highlight the selection and click allow on right hand side).
2.Also commented out the following in the web config ---
Cannot Install on Windows Vista

Hi, have you checked the file permissions? css missing is a classic sign that they are wrong (the account doesn't have read access to the css folder)
Also make sure that you have the "Static Content" feature of IIS turned on. (Control Panel -> Programs -> Windows features -> Internet information service -> Common HTTP features).

Definitely seems like a permissions issue..

2.Also commented out the following in the web config ---
<!-- Adobe AIR mime type -->
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".air" mimeType="application/vnd.adobe.air-application-installer-package+zip" />
</staticContent>
By commenting this part out will it break anything else ?
