I was just looking at the FAQ page on this site to see if I could find out what the minimum requirements were for DNN 5.0.  What to my suprise when I look under the item for "What kind of platform is recommeded for DotNetNuke?"   I found the answer to be....

Answer: Most DotNetNuke operate on a Windows platform, using Access / SQL Server, although other options are available.
I haven't been able to use DNN with Access since v2 ;-)

Ahh... the good old days ;-)

Q4. What steps should I follow for a clean installation?
Answer: First, unzip the package into C:\DotNetNuke. 

Second, create a Virtual Directory in IIS called DotNetNuke which points to the directory where the DotNetNuke.vbproj file exists.  Ensure that you have default.aspx specified as a Default Document for your Virtual Directory.  Depending on your choice of database you must have the necessary software installed on your server and you must create the database:

** MS Access ( default ) -- You need to ensure you have the latest Microsoft JET 4.0 Database Engine installed (browse to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=239114) The database file ( DotNetNuke.mdb.resources ) will be created automatically.

**SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000 (MSDE can be acquired from http://www.asp.net/Tools/redir.aspx?path=msde) Then, manually create SQL Server database named DotNetNuke (using Enterprise Manager or your tool of choice.)  Specify the default data provider setting in web.config ( <data defaultProvider="SqlDataProvider" > )  Set the properties for the SqlDataProvider in web.config to match your server ( ie. connectionString )

Then browse to localhost/DotNetNuke in your web browser. The application will automatically execute the necessary database scripts.
