This looks very cool! One of the hardest parts of using .Text was the setup – it seemed, for most people, that once you got past the install every thing else was like “butta”. Here’s a sneak peek into the new web based installer for Community Server. Pretty neat stuff, Scott. See, Grant, we aren’t all a bunch of whiny kids.

One of the items I really wanted to make sure was easier in Community Server was the initial setup. There were often questions about the missing .Text installer. Besides lack of time, one of my strongest reasons for not including an installer was the fact most users did not have access to run an installer on the server. So while, it might have been easier to get a local install up and running, it would not be too helpful when it came time to install it on the remote ISP.
To help combat this, Community Server will ship with a web based installer (should also have a windows installer as well).
The goal of the web installer is to enable a generic install to happen as quickly and easily as possible (ie, with only a couple straight forward choices) and without the need to use tools such as Query Analyzer.
