Hi Leupold, i don get what you mean, no web.config in a parent folder? which folder is parent folder?

After i downloaded DotNetNuke_04.05.05_Source.zip, i unzipped it to C:\DotNetNuke, DotNetNuke folder is created by me. Inside this DotNetNuke folder i have Library folder, Website folder, and one DotNetNuke.sln, i din see any DNN Folder, and inside the IIS i map the virtual directory to C:\DotNetNuke. If this is the ROOT of the virtual directory, i already done it, What wrong with my file directory? Thanks a million
