DotNetNuke® Project :: Installer Utility

Welcome to the DotNetNuke Installer project

installer_start.jpgWe have heard it again and again. DotNetNuke really needs an installer to help beginners with their first experience with DotNetNuke. But on the other hand the Installer should also be helping the more experienced users to quickly setup a new website with DotNetNuke.
The DotNetNuke Installer should take care of everything (ok, almost everything ...)

What is the DotNetNuke Installer?
The DotNetNuke Installer will take care of installing or upgrading DotNetNuke. It will guide the user through a series of pages and at the end will make all the settings based on what the user entered on the pages. Right now, the current version provides the following:

  • the user can select what items he wants to install (Core files, source, documentation, one (or more) module(s))
  • copy the files to the specified directory or to a remote FTP server
  • create the virtual directory in IIS (sorry, no support for root websites just yet)
  • create (or reuse an existing) database
  • basic command-line support


Issues and Bugs
Please use the DotNetNuke Installer issue tracker to report bugs and issues found in the installer, this way we are able to schedule, solve, track, and test the issues raised. Bug reports reported in a forum tends to be forgotten when they are no longer at the top of the list.

If you are not sure if something is a feature or an issue, feel free to describe your findings in the special forums below so others are able to provide their views and opinions.

Why feedback?
We need your feature ideas and experience with the installer to help us make it even better, and positive feedback helps us confirm the design choices we make.

Fellow DNN Bloggers,

If you have not noticed yet, the Blog module version 03.03.00 has passed QA and is now available for download here: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/tabid/125/default.aspx  -- Hip hip, hurray!

If you would like to learn more on the changes and enhancements on this version please refer to the issue log here: http://support.dotnetnuke.com/Issues.aspx?m=1&c=2&v=122

Many thanks to Scott Willhite and the extended DNN team for helping out with QA and testing.
I also want to wish a warm welcome to Alec Whittington, he is now a part of the Blog team!

As usual, if you have any comments please feel free to drop us a note on the Blog Forums.

I am now looking forward for one more major release (03.04.00) that will include "most" of the issues logged in Gemini as well as some Web 2.0 goodies. I hope to have this released within the next month or so.
Once we get that beast out the door, we will begin on a new Blog 2.0 ;) module. Nik and I are already working on the requirements and spec for it. Keep an eye out on this blog for any announcements on that.

Enjoy!

Re: Blog 03.03.00 Released!

Antonio, congrats on the release. From looking at the roadmap the 3.4 release should be very useful too, but the Next Generation with support for the API should really put this in the realm of a real blogging platform. This is something I need, so do you have any time frame as to when you hope to get the API coded in and released? I'm not looking for an exact date as I know that is impossible at this point, but just a ballpark estimate. So three months, 6 months, 5 years, what ever.

Thanks
Bruce

Re: Blog 03.03.00 Released!

As you mentioned, I will not be able to give you an exact date, but a 6 month range sounds pretty accurate ;)

Antonio - any updates on the problem of the

Other Comments Issues

Looking at these comments, apparently they are not sorting correctly. Note my previous comment of 8/3/2007 which sorted above Antonio's comment of 6/26/2007.

Re: Blog 03.03.00 Released!

@abusiness: We are working towards a release for end of the month. Barring any major unforeseen delays we should be on track.

Re: Blog 03.03.00 Released!

Hello dodb,
Yeah we know about this problem - in fact it is an inssue in the core DNN and not the blog. It is being looked at.

Thanks!

By AntonioChagoury on   6/26/2007 2:53 PM

Re: Blog 03.03.00 Released!

Just hoping you could quickly make a version 03.03.01 that replaces the
in the comments with a line feed?
For the rest pico bello!!
Thanks!
Dirk

Re: Blog 03.03.00 Released!

It's been almost two months now. Do you have an update on the release date?

By abusiness on   8/16/2007 9:23 PM

Re: Blog 03.03.00 Released!

It looks like part of the URL to http://support.dotnetnuke.com/Issues.aspx?m=1&c=2&v=122 .....
was eated by some part of DNN. Anyway it only takes you to Gemini's main page rather than a detail entry.
