Example Site Installation!
EPiServer CMS 5 R2 is available as a express installation ready for you as a developer to examine and use directly. The express installation installs an example Web site with the EPiServer public templates package onto your local machine. EPiServer CMS 5 R2 is installed through the new EPiServer Deployment Center.
EPiServer Deployment Center
EPiServer CMS 5 R2 is delivered through the new EPiServer Deployment Center encapsulated within a standard MSI-package. This means that you now can install and uninstall EPiServer CMS like any other product on your server. The installation is divided into two parts; installation of EPiServer CMS base components and installation of Web sites. You can also select a express install scenario making it very quick and easy to install a first version of EPiServer CMS.
The EPiServer Deployment Center is also fundamental for the future product installations. It is based on Power Shell Scripts, which makes it easy for any third party company to use the same installer for their products as well.
Public Templates
The EPiServer CMS 5 R2 public templates are aimed at providing inspiration for Web designers and developers and can be used as a starting base for a EPiServer CMS project. See the EPiServer CMS 5 R2 SP1 Installation Instructions for information about public templates installation and how to open Public Templates in Visual Studio 2008.
