I want to install dotnetnuke on my local development box to open in Visual Studio 2008.

I downloaded the DNN5 beta version. Unzipped into DNN5 directory.

I installed IIS6. Setup a Virtual Directory to DNN5 directory.

I clicked the DotNetNuke_VS2008.sln solution to open in my Visual Studio 2008.

It pops up a message:

"The site 'http://localhost/DotNetNuke_Cambrian' has not been configured for use with ASP.NET 2.0. Microsoft Visual Studio has been designed foruse with ASP.NET 2.0; if not configured some features may make incorrection assumpts....

Would you like the site to be configured now?"

I wanted to use framework 3.5 since my server is a windows 2008 web server and IIS7 and my database is a sql server 2008, so I'm unsure why it says it must be configured for 2.0.

Meanwhile, saying yes or cancel does no good. I can't even get it to work with 2.0 framework.

For yes, I get this popup:

"Configuring web site ... for asp.net 2.0 failed. You must manually configure this site for asp.net 2.0 in order for the site to run correctly."

So how do I use this project with 3.5 and windows 2008, sql server 2008 and VS 2008 (SP1).

I should add, I've never setup a "project" before with allthe folders for the httpmodules, providers, etc., but I have created and deployed numerous web sites.

thanks.

Accepted Answer 

In IIS6, select the folder icon for your site's virtual directory, right click and select properties. There should be an ASP.NET tab shown in the dialog box. Open the ASP.NET tab and select ASP.NET 2.0.50727 (even though you desire to use ASP.Net 3.5). If this option is not available (it should be with a successful VS2008 install - unless the IIS feature of Windows XP was enabled AFTER VS2008 was installed), you will need to install the .NET 2.0.50727 framework.

You should then be able to open the DotNetNuke_VS2008.sln, open the website project's property pages, select the Build tab, select the .NET 3.5 as the Target Framework and rebuild the website. If you are using the DNN source version (not recommended for most module development) rather than install version, do not rebuild the DNN library or various provider and HttpModule projects - only rebuild the website project so be sure to uncheck all projects other than the website on the build tab of the solution's property pages.

I have no difficulties running any current DNN version on WinXP Pro 32 bit (IIS 5.1). I suggest using XP Pro IIS Admin (download for free from www.jetstat.com/iisadmin), if using multiple local sites.
