jquery is installed as an installable extension during the installation progress -for the installable extension to be there the project must be compiled in release mode, I'm not sure why that's not working for you

Compiling in release mode is not the issue. Don't you need to actually install it to a new database vs trying to use an existing dnn database? This is really bad. With all of the upgrade issues with .1 and .2, my only resolution is to debug using the source. However, since the source does not have everything by default you get these types of issues.

Even if you pass that hurdle, most probably you will get into an install problem if you run just from the source version.

Here's what works for me every time:
1- Unzip the source zip into a folder.
2- Unzip the install zip (another download) on top of the 'website' folder from step 1. OK to overwrite all the files
3- Create an empty database in sql server
3- modify web.config to use the proper connectionstring properties
4- Open DNN_PlatformNoTests.sln in Visual Studio. (That's the solution file I decided to use. I don't need the test projects. The other solution files might work but I didn't try)
5- Make the website project the startup project
6- Run. This should start the new installation process and then your DNN website is ready
7- This worked for me using different DNN versions. I use this setup because there are times I want to understand how code in the platform works or to debug.
