newbie: DotNetNuke StarterKit

[Jeff]

Hey

I've installed the DotNetNuke StarterKit together with my visual web
developer 2005 express. When I for the first time run my DNN site, I see
this data:
Installation Status Report
00:00:00.234 - Installing Version: 3.1.0
00:00:00.265 - Installing Script: DotNetNuke.SetUp.SqlDataProvider
00:00:09.453 - Installing Script: DotNetNuke.Schema.SqlDataProvider

A tutorial I have says that installation is finished when a link with the
text "Click Here To Access Your Portal", is displayed on the page. I don't
see such link (and I waited several minutes)

My computer has winXP Pro (sp2)

I have not installed Sql Server Express, I've so far only used the default
database installed when I installed visual web developer 2005 express

Any suggestions to solve this?

Hey

I haven't change a thing. I just installled the DotNetNuke StarterKit, then
I started visual web developer 2005 express and created a new website based
on the DotNetNuke StarterKit template which has been added to vwd.

When I start the site, then I get the errors below.

I haven't renamed release.config or made any changes to web.config!

I haven't installed Sql Server 2005 Express, But I have installed the
version of sql server 2005 which came with visual web developer 2005 express
(maybe it's called Sql Server 2005 Express???)

My intention was to get a simple DotNetNuke site up and running, and then
use the functionality embedded in vwd to deploy my DotNetNuke to a live
server (with "live" I mean a server available on the Internet)

Any suggestions?

I installed Sql Server 2005 Express and it works great. Using Sql Server
embedded with visual web developer 2005 express wasn't enough
