Web Installer.
So I'm sick and tired of the current installation process. To catch up rainbow to the rest of the systems out there, I'm working on a installer that eliminates the need to edit the web.config under normal circumstances.

I'm borrowing ideas from WordPress, CommunityServer.org and Joomla. Any ideas are welcome. An email was sent to the Development team with the specs today. I hope to have something soon.

two simple things come to mind (90% of install support questions are about this!) which you probably didn't miss but to make sure:
- enter connection string. Preferably with extras checks to see if server is online, port 1433 is open, user account exists, db exists etc. just like SqlExpress management studio does
- check write privileges in rb_logs and Portal dir

other ideas:
- create admin username / pass
- default site name
