Hi All,

I'm new to a DNN. And some details first: Standalone WinXP, SQL 2005, VS 2008 .NET 3.5, DNN 5.1.4.

I followed instructions and installed "Install" package into C:\DotNetNuke (default). Set permissions as required. Changed Web.config to point to my SQL Server.

When I open the site from browser, I can see default page, but cannot go anywhere else - Login, Register buttons (links) don't get me anywhere, I'm still on the same page.

When I open the site from Visual Studio and run it - everything works perfectly - I can log in, I can see the menus and options etc...

So my questions are:

1) Does DNN must be run from within VS?

2) If this is self-sufficient application what else I can do to make it work?

Please respond, I have to come up with demo app by Nov 06

1) No, DNN does not need to run from within VS.

2)  I had a similar problem and it was the system.web.extensions.dll in the bin directory.  I was in version 4.9.4 at the time, but I removed that dll and things worked great for me.  There's a bunch of posts about it in google and the forums here.  Anyway, give that a shot and it might do the trick.  Just hope you don't need to use that dll and you're good to go ;)
