    Installing

    Hi, I have got very very confused trying to install Umbraco. 

    I followed the instructions regarding installing, the various requirements, although now I have MSSQL Server 2005 and 2008. PLus UltiDev Cassini Web Server and IIS 7!!!

    Then I download the ZIPPED Umbraco files, but couldn't find an installer.  Then I tried the web installer, but this failed because it couldn't create a database.

    Can anyone provide some info on where I might have gone wrong?

    Hey there,

    If you just want to try it out then I recommend the Web Platform Installer from Microsoft. It will install everything you need including Umbraco!

    That's what I thought but it never installed anything...

    So i have installed everything individually.

    Now I am using Web Installing, I tcik please install Umbraco, I click I agree.

    Then I get the 'Enter the site Information' The trouble is I haven't created a site.  I selected default.aspx when I set up the CAssini Webserver.

    So I think I have just confused myself completely.....:(  What needs to be filled in on this page?

    I don't  know what you're trying to do with Cassini.. You can just use the IIS7 that you already have :-)

    Have a look at the screencast that I just put up, it might help you understanding the different parts better.

    Many thanks I will have a look :)  The only reason I was looking at Cassini is because depending which install instructions you read through it mentions to use that rather than II7...
