Finely I got my EPiServer to install on my computer. What can I say the first impression was, it works, sweet! But when I logged on to the editor mode, well I can say it didn't look so good. EPi got some stuff to do. The layout was horrible the same with the templates. But I'm not that disappointed.
I talked with guy that works at EPi and he recommended me the IE7 hot fix.
I'm not going to give up, so close now.
And the tip for today is: Shutdown the UAC in vista. Makes thing easier for you :)

EPi + Vista = ?
Well, who said it would be easy to install a CMS on windows vista? Well it's not.
I tried to install EPi Server 4.60 on my computer and I got stuck right the way. The problem is I had to install the IIS 6 and allow VB.script to work on my Vista. Not so hard. Then I had to install SQL 2005 and upgrade it to sp1. Well here is the messy part.
After installing SQL 2005 and downloaded the sp1 from windows update. I went on to installing it. Well the whole computer froze. Not a big thing. Rebooted Vista and tried again. The same thing! Startded download from msdn. I downloaded to 76% and then nothing else happened for the next 2 hours. I restarted the download and the same thing there.
Damn, so today at work I copied it from my workstation. So after installing the SQL 2005 and sp1, I was ready to install EPi.
Started the installation, followed the steps. When I got to locate the license. What do you know. The ip-address on my computer had change.
Crap! So I surfed to EPi's website to register a new license file. So, here is the funny part. I can't find the registration form to receive the license file. After the redesign on there website I can't find anything. So I gave up.
What have I learned from this, well EPi + Vista = EPi's website, it's hard to find stuff.
Good start on my first blog. And the irony is that on Wednesday to friday I'm going on EPi developer course. If I'm lucky I probably know where to find the license file :)

So why this blog. I asked my self that. The main thing is to share what I know and learn more about programming.
Well thats really a short presentation about me.
