I have downloaded DNN to my directory and set up IIS but the homepage isn't showing.. When I browse to the site I get the directory listing instead of the page itself.   I'm using IIS 7.  Thanks

Ok Thanks for the reply I got past that stage.

The next problem occurs when I run the database scripts..  It seems to hang up there - I'm using SQL Express 2005 and I'm also using Cassini ASP.Net Server. 

Thanks again Richard

I was able to get the scripts to install using SQL Express by modifying web.config

     connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Initial Catalog=DotNetNuke;Integrated Security=True"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
And here..

    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;Initial Catalog=DotNetNuke"/>

I also could not get the install wizard to work instead I navigated to ~Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install and that did the trick.

So I did get the product to install the problem now is if I navigate to the site:  http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx  then I get this:

HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error

Description: This application is running in an application pool that uses the Integrated .NET mode. This is the preferred mode for running ASP.NET applications on the current and future version of IIS.
