Answer 1

Fastest easiest way might be to download the Visual Studio Starter kit from CodePlex - http://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=36408 - and install it

1. Open Visual Studio
2. Select Create Web Site
3. Select DotNetNuke Web Application Framework from My Templates'
4. Set the location to put it in then let it go

then run the website and walla you have a simple local install - mess with it from there - but that should get you going.
