Hello.  I am new to this and have been searching.  Apologies if there's an obvious thread/post that I've missed.

I have an existing website using ASP.NET 2.0 Membership security/login etc.  I am going to be adding DNN to the website and would like to know the best way to install/configure DNN and my site to use the same aspnet_* tables and not lose my existing user base.

I appreciate any assistance.  Thanks.

You can do this by setting the "InstallMemberRole" key in your web.config to "false". This way the install with skip the aspnet member scripts but will run all the other necessary sql scripts.

I have attempted this several times now.  When I set installMemberRole to false, my portal cannot be created.  The installation says it succeeded, but an error is seen at the bottom of the default.aspx installation page indicating that an error occurred.

I then attempted a clean install leaving installMemberRole as true and it succeeded.

Are the host and admin accounts created during the installMemberRole processing?  If so, do I need to manually create those account prior to the installation (and also update their passwords in the install.config files found in the subdirectories)?

Help requested and appreciated.

Thanks.
