Hi folks

Trying to install V5 Starter Kit in VS2008, I am getting this error right after the first screen of the Wizard (having selected auto):

DotNetNuke Error: - Version 05.00.00

Any suggestions?

Many thanks Alex

That did the trick. For the record I am using Vista Ultimate SP1, VS2008 Professional, ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 (which has AJAX built in) . BUT I had loaded DNN as ASP.Net 2.0 and that doesn't come with AJAX!

I installed AJAX for ASP.NET 2.0, cleared my cookies and cache and all went well.

Thanks again

Kind regards

Geoffrey

Hi Alex

The penalties for being at the bleeding edge, eh!

I forgot to mention that I still got the DotNetNuke.FckHtmlEditorProvider.dll errors that Allan Bredahl mentioned in an earlier post but John Mitchell's workaround move DotNetNuke.FckHtmlEditorProvider.dll from the /bin/providers to the /bin folder fixed those for me.

Thanks again for your help

Geoffrey
