I would like to run DNN on my server under wwwroot folder, which would be the DefaultWebsite under IIS.

So the file structure would be C:\INETPUB\wwwroot\Default.aspx

What do I have to do with portal alias in order to get this to server up without having to create a virtual directory?

As it is now, the only way I have succeeded is to create a virtual directory that points back to the wwwroot folder, which is ummm, confusing.

Any help would be appreciated

I think you need the virtual directory to run ASP.NET web application in IIS. So probably what you have done is pretty much the best if not only method. Though normally, virtual directories are created within the wwwroot and not the wwwroot folder itself.

You should be able to just install the DNN files in wwwRoot and then browse out to your website to begin the installation process.

portal alias must be the site address e.g. mypc or www.mydomain.com. your name server must direct this domain to the IP of your server.

True, even top level IIS sites are considered Virtual Directories. But I gather from context that he was referring to a top level website. Of course, I'm frequently wrong about such matters. ;)
