Hi,

I read the following blog entry http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Blogs/tabid/825/EntryID/1047/Default.aspx because I want to be able to do development work with subportals on XPPro.

Here is how I started with this install, please let me know if it is incorrect.

1) I didn't want my source files to be under wwwRoot so I created a folder on my C drive Called DevDNN in the following location c:\Development\DevDNN.

2) I created a new virtual directory in IIS to point to c:\Development\DevDNN.

3) I ran the DNN 4.3.5 StarterKit.vsi

4) Created a new Web Site in VS 2005 using the DotNetNuke Web Application Framework choose HTTP as the location and browsed to my new virtual directory in IIS (Did not compile or browse to it yet)

5) Created the blank DB and login with the appropriate permissions , Set NTFS File Permission and changed the required setting in the release.config file and renamed it to web.config.

6)Open IIS Admin.Net following the directions but got stuck on the very first step because I don't see a website folder under my DevDNN Folder?

I also noticed that my solution file is under C:\Documents and Settings\IBM USER\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\DevDNN and I don't know if that is a problem? The project files are under my  c:\Development\DevDNN directory.

What I really need to know is did I do something wrong or will the steps outlined in the blog entry not work with the DNN StarterKit?

Thank You !
