Hi,

I've been trying to install DNN4.05.05 Starter Kit, but each time, I'm getting the following errors.

Installation completed with errors.

Installation stopped because the directory of the ProjectType value did not exist. 
The project type is invalid for your installation of Visual Studio.

Please help.

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, I have VWD 2005 Express.

I've actually ignored this, and continued with my DNN Installation in VWD, and it worked fine.

1. Open VWD.

2. New Website.

3. Point to the DotNetNuke template (make sure there's only 1 template).
    - If there's more than 1, it's stronlgy advised that you delete all other dotNetNuke Templates from your local drive.
    - Usually located in "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\VWDExpress\8.0\ProjectTemplatesCache\Visual Web Developer\VisualBasic"
    - Delete all older "DotNetNuke.zip" files, and keep the latest.

4. Open VWD - New Website, and select the DotNetNuke template again.

5. It will unzip the site into VWD.

6. From there, click "Database Explorer" on the right side of VWD, and connect to your db.
    - Before you do this, ensure that you have already created a database in SQL2005 Express. (Follow the Installation Guide.)

I finally done it. It's so cool!

Thanks!
