Can the DNN Team give some indication when this thread might be started? I've just added VS 2008/.net Framework 3.5 to my development environment, copied the solution file and all website files to another directory, created an IIS [7 - I'm on vista] entry, created a new [SQL 2000 on another server] database, backed up the original and restored it to this new Db.[then changed the PortalAlias entry].

I then opened the new solution file [I'd hand-edited it to reflect the new directory] and immediately got an error as the new environment didn'y like the ID="Form" for the Default.aspx and ErrorPage.aspx files. [There appears to be no reference to thatID name in the code...]

Changed those and got a blank page

I was on 4.6.2 so I overwrote it with the 4.7.0 update [did the ID entries..... again] and got:

BC42025: Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated.
relating to: Line 257: objResourceInstaller.Install(True, 0) in the Install.aspx.vb   file

oh dear!.........................

Also depending on what you need, you can see this article from Michael Washington about using LINQ with a current install version.
