In this video tutorial we demonstrate how to install DotNetNuke v4.5.1 to Windows XP Home Edition using Visual Web Developer Express.

We walk you through how to configure and install the required programmes for installing DotNetNuke using a fresh installation of Windows XP Home.

Once we have setup and configured the required programmes we demonstrate how to install DotNetNuke.

For this tutorial we demonstrate how to install:

  • ASP.NET 2.0 Framework
  • Visual Studio Express 2005
  • SQL Server Express 2005
  • Windows Updates
  • DotNetNuke 4.5.1

Note: In Windows XP Home Edition, Internet Information Services (IIS) is not available; it is only available to Windows XP Professional, so we demonstrate how to install DotNetNuke using the web server that comes with Visual Studio Express.
