hello,

if i want to install dotnetnuke trough WPI it will install but after the installation it is asking me for a password from my SA sql .\SQLExpress acount... i have read in another threath that the password could be found in the web.config but i also cant find it can someon please help me with this?

for DNN being able to install the database attached, it needs the sa password being set during installation of sql server (or edited by an admin afterwards).
After installing DNN, make sure not to use sa for database access in web.config for security reasons.

Speed up your DNN Websites with TurboDNN

follow up to my previous reply... it appears that the DNN installed SQL Server (so, it seems like it should know the password...). I rebooted my computer and restarted the install.  so, I got past the password issue but NOW every other component install failed!

So, far I'm not impressed with DNN.  IS there a PDF or .doc that steps me through the install?  Will I do better downloading the source code and compiling/running (I have visual Studio 2012)?
