Hi, I'm new to installing DNN and was trying to get the platform installed on my desktop.

The problem I'm having is once the installer finished downloading and moves on to the "installing" phase it just freezes at 0%, I left it on all afternoon yesterday and nothing, I've tried restarting it multiple times and still nothing. The install wont even start, it simply freezes, and if i try and cancel it, the problem is complatly unresponsive. Is there another way to manually install the files without using the platform installer?  I was hoping maybe someone else had encountered a similar issue and would know how to go about this.

Is there anything else I'm missing that I need to download?

I've designed website before using DNN, but I've never installed it (as it was already done on the for the websites I was already working on), so im pretty new to this side of things. 

Thanks,

and i really really appreciate any input
