(I gave my instances -eg. solr isntance a name like "sc102"). You are also asked for your sa db password (in most of our cases, this will be 'H3mm3ligT'). - Let the installer run it's course. - Once it's done you get a button that will open sitecore and this should run just fine now. ## Installing Ucommerce Seems like default database users provided by the installer do not have enough permissions to install Ucommerce. (I don't think this is a new thing in Sitecore 10, I believe it has been the case for a long time.) - hence the first step. - Before installing Ucommerce, edit every SQL connection string in your website folder (dev.local only) /App_Config/ConnectionStrings.config to use `sa` as the user id, and your admin password (our default test password `H3mm3ligT`). - Install the Ucommerce.Sitecore zip package the same way as with any other previous version. - This seemingly works fine. At this point I verified speak apps, the "start menu" shortcut and some of the UIs and integration points (eg. users in settings) ## Installing Avenue Clothing for Sitecore - Install the latest Avenue Clothing for Sitecore zip package. ## Installing another instance of Sitecore (Once all prerequisites are already installed) - Run the .exe installer again - Give your site a different instance name ## Troubleshooting Try to use Solr version 8.8.2 (latest for sitecore 10.2 at this point) If you don't have permissions to your C:\ drive try adding new partition drive and run the installation from there. (Mainly Solr issues) https://sitecorecorner.wordpress.com/2020/11/01/unable-to-update-hosts-file-while-installing-sitecore-10-using-sia/ https://sitecore.stackexchange.com/questions/15552/installation-with-sif-error-you-must-remove-all-users-with-password-before-set https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3998634/sql-server-2008-how-do-i-grant-privileges-to-a-username
