I am going to be installing the latest version of DNN on a Windows 2003 servers and I plan on using the DNN Installer Utility.  However, I am not going to want a virtual directory named "dotnetnuke", because I don't want that in the URL I give to my users to access DNN.  I want them to be able to use something like "http://myintranet/DocumentPortal".

When using the Installer utility, will I be able to accomplish this, or am I forced to created the DNN virtual directory?  If that must be created, can I still use a different VD for my users to access? If so, are there instructions on configuring this?  When I installed on my dev box, I used the dnn virtual directory.  One of the first lines in the "CleanInstall" readme installation instructions file is "- create Virtual Directory in IIS called DotNetNuke which points to the directory where the DotNetNuke.webproj file exists )".  Is this actually required, or can we name this Virtual Directory anything?

On my Dev box, I tried creating another VD in IIS and pointing that to my DNN installation, but got an error in the config file.  Is there a specific document or thread I can goto for information on this?  Thanks.

No, you can a name of your own choosing for your virtual directory.  You can also use any domain name that you own to point to it.  You can also pick a name for your DotNetNuke database

I assume that the problem you mentioned with your installation had to with some mis-configuration.  Without seeing your installation, though, it's impossible to tell you how to fix it.
