We are trying to install Umbraco onto a Windows Server 2008 R2 and are only getting a sunburst screen...this is what we have done:
1 - downloaded and unzipped file onto a folder on our e:\
2 - created a website "umbraco" in IIS 7
3 - Ran the permissions bat file from within the installation folder
4 - Created a database under SA user - created a new user "umbracouser" and gave it the required permissions
5 - changed the apppool .net framework from v2.0 to v4.0
At this point all we are getting is an orange sunburst screen from http://localhost:8080/install/default.aspx page - however it is blank. I assume it is a permissions problem still?
Did you use the built in unzipping method in windows? In that case you need to unblock the zip file before extracting it. If it's not done some files can be missing.

Hi umbracouser10 and welcome to our :)

Have you had a look at the installation guide here? http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/install-umbraco-manually
It's pretty extensive so all caveats should be covered in there.
Hope this helps.
