Web Platform Installer method

Using the Microsoft Web Platfom Installer is the recommended method for installing Umbraco to IIS7. The Web PI can be found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/Umbraco.aspx

and is also available as an extension for the IIS Manager:

http://www.iis.net/extensions/WebPI

When using the Web PI be certain to leave the Application Name field blank, otherwise the installer will place Umbraco into a sub folder under a web root, which is not supported. Also, you may find that creating a SQL Login with dbo rights to your target database will make the installation process smoother.
Manual installation
Step 1: Download

If you want to install Umbraco manually, you have to download the binary release from here:

http://umbraco.codeplex.com/

After you have downloaded the package, you have to right click the file, choose Properties, and the click "Unblock". Otherwise you will get errors when installing.
Step 2: Setup IIS

Extract the ZIP file to a folder on your computer. The norm is to create a folder under c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ for your website.

NOTE: If the downloaded ZIP file contains a "build" folder in the root, you have to move the contents "build" to the above mentioned folder.

Then, in IIS you create a new website by right-clicking on Sites and choosing Add Web Site.

Give your website a name and an address, and point the Physical path to the folder where you extracted Umbraco.
Step 3: Permissions

Follow one of the guides on the following page, but be sure to read the "Setting Permissions for ApplicationPoolIdentity" section.

our.umbraco.org/.../set-umbraco-folder-permissions-from-command-line

You can find the name of the application pool by clicking on your website in IIS and the clicking on "Basic Settings" on the right side. The name of the application pool is in the top right textbox.
Step 4: Setup database

Open up SQL Server Management Studio and add a database by right-clicking on Databases and choosing New database. Give your database a name, and click "OK".

The create a user for your database by going to Security and right-clicking on "Logins" and choosing "New login". Give your user a name (for example: umbracouser), choose SQL Server authentication, and enter a password.

Then go to User Mapping and in the list that appears, check the database you just created. Then you check the following roles in the "Database role membership" list:

db_datareader

db_datawriter

db_ddladmin

db_securityadmin

public

Click "OK".
Step 5: Install Umbraco

Go to the address you set up for your Umbraco installation. It will automatically start the installer for you.

Follow the steps in the installer, and if you did everything above correct, you will mostly only click "next".
