This post shows how to use the DotNetNuke Starter kit for Visual Studio 2008.
1. Install the Starter Kit from this link here.


2. Create a New Web Site

Note: Language is: Visual Basic, Location is: File System (so you can put this website where ever you want, if you select Http location, then you need go to: Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager to add a new website folder under C:\inetpub\wwwroot ).

3. After all the files are created, if you want your database in your local MS SQL server, (default is in App_Data, called: Database.mdf), DON'T RUN the new site yet, change the connection string and appSettings first. After done that, all the necessary information will go to your SQL database.

4. I had a strange error when I run my new testing website, the error is: Not sure why that happens, but most likely the Blog Module causing the trouble when setup my website, see below image

So I recreated the new website without install any Modules, no more errors. I can add Blog Module later on if I need it, hopefully it can work when the time comes.
