The Snapsis DotNetNuke® Configuration Wizard is intended to help with the configuration and testing of the initial installation of DotNetNuke. Based upon feedback and support in the DotNetNuke forums I have seen that getting the application installed is sometimes the most difficult part.  This is mostly due to the nature of everything having to be setup just right before attempting a DotNetNuke install.  This wizard attempts to alleviate that problem by guiding you through the steps in the pre-configuration so that once the DotNetNuke Installer takes over it will have everything it needs to install successfully.  In the future the wizard may also be expanded to do other configuration processes that require a stepped procedure.

It is developed using the ASP.Net 2.0 Wizard Control and also includes Atlas.  The whole Wizard is released as Open Source under a BSD license.  As such it is also a great way to learn about these new technologies in ASP.Net 2.0, and maybe even a jumping off point for development of your own wizards.

Before using the wizard you need to have an IIS website or virtual directory setup and it needs to be configured to use the ASP.Net 2.0 framework.

If you are hosting on an external server, then this requirement will most like be satisfied by your Hosting provider.

Using the wizard your “simple” website will be transformed into a full functioning DotNetNuke Website.

To try it out you will need to obtain the Snapsis.DNN.Configuration.Wizard Package.

I'm just getting started on this Wizard, but it is fully functional and should be a great help in it's present form.

Feedback is always welcome.
