In my case I recently deployed a new site on a host, and after completing the install I found to my suprise if I just hit my site, mysite.com it had the full installation screen available to the public internet, so had I not been sitting right there, anyone who may be scanning the web, could have hit my url, and poof they could set it all up for their own. 

 

Of course I know best practices is build out the site in dev, then push to prod etc.  and that is my usual method.  However, in this case,  I had been considering this issue, and had noticed it in the past,and wanted to see if in the new version if this was fixed.

 Perhaps add a password page in front of the install page that requires some password setup in some other step or something? 

 Thoughts?

there is a setting (AutoUpgrade) to handle this scenario (http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/Page/autoupgrade) though personally I like to use app_offline.htm files if i'm installing in public production

prior to the setup, a password for install could only be a general one (overridable in web.config), which would not help much. As Cathal pointed out, either set "UseInstallWizard" in web.config to false or place a custom index.html (or whatever prioritized default document you configure for your IIS website) in front and browse /default.aspx or /install/installwizard.aspx manually to trigger install wizard.
