I downloaded the install.zip file from here

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/125/default.aspx

Now I need to download the zip file

DotNetNuke 4.5.5 Source

Can somebody tell me how can I download this zip file. I have been trying to download it but I had no idea how to run.

please help

Thank you for your respond. I am still having the same problem

here is what i did:

1- I unziped the DotNetNuke 4.5.5 -(Source Package that  Contains everything, including full application source code) to a file (DDNSource) in my wwwroot.

2- then under DDNSource/website/ i renamed the release.config to web.config

3- i made sure the IIS is configured properly.

4- build the DDNSource project and i get this error:

Error 101 It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DDNSource\Website\web.config 58 

I am pretty sure my virtual directory is configured properly.

Note: I did install the (Install Package  -  Contains only the files needed for a run-time deployment to a web server) first which worked without any problems.

Thank you

Thank you christoc for your respond here is what i did (i am not sure if this is the correct way)

This is what I did the first time but something was messing therefore, I did the whole thing a gain. Here is what I did

1-     after unzipping the source.zip I extracted whatever is inside the website folder to a

2-     new folder called DNNTest

3-     I placed this folder in the wwwroot

4-     I configured the IIS to point to DNNTest

5-     I renamed the release.cofig file to web.config (is this step correct)?

Finally it worked this way, however, I have a question

After I manually executed the script by typing

http://DNNTest/Install/instal.aspx

I logged in as a host then downloaded all the available modules for the host menu option. Then when I tried to built the project again I got these errors (this only happened when I downloaded the available modules:

Error          102      Error parsing attribute 'enableEventValidation': Could not load file or assembly 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Gallery, Version=3.0.11.3077, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies.

And more errors

Also is this the right way to download the source.zip package and do I need to rename my web.config file back to it’s original name release.config(when I did that I got 103 erros)

    Thank you for your help
