Ryan Rauh, one of the brightest developers I've had the fortune of working with, blogs on installing CASK
HERE. Recommended reading for CaskDotNet pre-requisites!
The first time you run http://localhost/CASKDotNet you will be promted for the ISP Username and password. This information is configured in the Web.Config file
it is strongly recommended that you change this before deploying ClickOnce installation for CaskInstall follows:
http://www.global-webnet.net/CSK/CSKInstall.htm Once you install the above application you will have a
Global Webnet, LLC program group under your START | All Programs menu. The "CSK Install online support" link will take you to this page and the "CSK Install" link will launch the installation program after checking to see if there are any new updates (you won't have to go directly to the link again - you can use this menu option).
CSKInstall If you use the default configurations (Server: .\SQLExpress Database: CASKDB) then you should be able to run CASK out of the box. The CASKInstall application sets up the database, tables, stored procedures and constraints in approx 40 seconds (for those that used GCN's CSKDB.CMD you'll appreciate this!)
The "Install Security" button is only necessary if you plan on using ASP.NET integrated security - it will launch the application that will setup the aspnet_ security files. If you are using the default CASK security provider then this is not necessary.
The "Create Database" button will create the specified database and populate the data tables; you will
have to run this prior to launching http://localhost/CaskDotNet.
Vista Users - Right click on Setup.exe and run as administrator. It was reported in the issue tracker that it would not work under Vista but I just completed an install under Vista Ultimate with success (2007.03.30); the reported failure may have been security related.
CASKDotNet - First time running website
Login failed for user 'username'. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18452)

2. Right Click on serverName\SQLEXPRESS
3. Select

LoginMode = 2 is mixed <<== Change and restart SQL Server
LoginMode = 1 is Windows only
DEMO/Default Web Site IIS 7.0 will generate a "double escape sequence" error and not display Books, Favorite Links and Photo Gallary because of the plus sign character in the section name (fixed on menu - still occurs on Admin section editor links). To resolve this - click the Admin | Edit Sections and simply edit each of these sections and remove the plus sign from "Section Name" under the General Tab. Once completed you will be required to go to Admin | Configure Community | Clear Cache so that the cached pages will be cleared.
