14. Once the skin is installed you will see the You’re done screen as show in Figure 1-12. From
this screen click the Preview your new website button to launch the skin editor or the Set up
your new website button to launch the Umbraco backoffi ce. This screen also has a collection
of useful links to additional information about getting started working with Umbraco.
You’re all done and Umbraco is ready for use, complete with a fully functional web site and beauti-
ful skin! As you can see, when you compare the process to a manual installation as discussed in the
next section, using the Web Platform Installer greatly simpli es the setup and con guration of the
website and database requirements for Umbraco.
A limitation of using the Microsoft Web Platform Installer to install Umbraco
is that only Microsoft SQL databases are supported. If you want to install
Umbraco using a MySQL database, you must con gure the database prior to
running the installation from the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. You then
provide the database connection information during the Umbraco Installation
Wizard database confi guration step rather than during the Web Platform
Installer con guration step.
