I would like to install the latest version of DNN.

Is there an install guide anywhere? (including creating the database)

I have done a google search and some recommend setting up the database first and some say install dnn first. And I wouldn't mind more info on how to set up and connect the database too please.

We have windows 2008 r2, SQL 2008, ASP.net4, and IIS7.

The database is on a different server to the where it will be installed.

Well - you have to set up the database first - otherwise you can't install DNN.

you don't need to create the database, if you are using user instance database with SQL Server Express, in all other cases you need to create a database and grant dbowner permission to the SQL Server login being used by ASP.Net (you'll specify during installation).

thanks,
we're not using sql express (using SQL server 2008).

What's the web installer all about? - is it better to use this or the standard install package? (we don't want the source package).
