I have had a few issues with Web platform installer trying to install Joomla CMS where it constantly fails midway. For DNN, I always do it manually which is not too hard. If you chose this option, find instructions here and even better instructions here if you want to to be able to access the db with Sql Server Management Studio for development purposes. Check out the system requirements here for different versions of DNN
I personally would recommend doing a manual installation of DNN. The web platform installer can have problems, and when it does, tracking them down is rather difficult.
