The Source package works correctly - If you use it the way it is intended - but because it is source code tied to a server configuration there are many more edge cases.

Prerequisites.
================================
IIS latest version
MS SQL latest version - express 
ASP.NET 4.0 / 4.5  
All latest service packs and patches.

Make sure IIS is running and that you can BROWSE to http://localhost/  and see the default IIS landing page

================================

IF ALL OF THE ABOVE IS CORRECT THEN YOU CAN DO A BUILD FROM SOURCE WITHOUT ANY EDGE CASE ISSUES - in about 5 minutes

1. Unlock zip
2. Unzip to folder -  say c:/wwwDnn/
3. Start Visual Studio from Run as Administrator -  you MUST be in admin mode for a clean build to work 
4. Select open project from the menu - and open c:/wwwDnn/DNN_Platform.sln
5. Open  Build -> Configuration Manager 
6. Switch to RELEASE mode
7. Now  Build -> Build Solution
8. Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/DNN_Platform/

After a short initial startup dynamic compile - you will be shown the dnn installer page  - you are now running DNN from a source build.


======================================

Regarding Forums, we missed to mention YAF - which is unfair, IMHO with YAF core team member Ingo taking care of the DNN integration module with supreme support!

I did mention YAF a few pages back, it's the best DNN forum module period and support is great too!


Sorry, I might have missed it - or forgotten (I am nearly an old man). Mea culpa.

PS: Tony, I am with you regarding install of source package, which used to contain a ready to run environment until DNN 5, and still claims to be "source and install" (which is just wrong, IMHO). 

Hi Sebastian,

The 7.2.1 download package for the source is labelled as just "Source Code". Previously, it was labelled "Source Code (New Install + Source Code)", but no longer. So the install package should now be used to install DNN and the source code package should be used for development and reference.

Regards,

Darrin

Missed out the tricky one for windows 8x - you need to make sure the IIS is actually configured for DEVELOPMENT - by default ASP.NET 3.5/4.x is installed as a client only service - and as such - does not actually get wired up to work with IIS - never really understood that - but well thats MS for you.

So you need to make sure that you go into the IIS installer area inside the Add Windows Features part of the control panel - and actually turn on all the World Wide Web - Development Options .

Call that an edge case within and edge case -  this is nothing to do with DNN - but with how Windows 8 is configured by default - its NOT setup as a proper development webserver out of the box.

thanks for the correction, Darrin. I obviously missed this change (after asking for it before a couple of times).
