Has anyone successfully solved this error aside from changing DBO's yet?  I'm sitting on a contract and have no clue how to fix the error that seems to loop forever.

I've tried everything I can think of now.  Next on my list is changing the DBO to the plesk user and not the SQL user I created for the database owner.  My MSSQL server isn't tied into Plesk in any way so I dont see how it could help, unless running SQL scripts under a plesk owned virtual directory needs its own user to have permissions.

And lastly I will have to drive to Colorado and throw my dedicated box through a window :)

On looking into it further, I noticed something. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the issue, but I thought I would mention it. When I originally ran the Installation Wizard (with the original web.config in place), the wizard said that my database connection tested succesfully. I clicked next and got caught in the 'Installing Scripts' loop others mentioned. When I looked in the web.config, I saw this line:

<add name="SqlDataProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider, DotNetNuke.SqlDataProvider" connectionStringName="SiteSqlServer" upgradeConnectionString="" providerPath="~\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\" objectQualifier="dnn_db" databaseOwner="dnn_usr" />

After I did what I outlined in my previous post, that same line now says:

<add name="SqlDataProvider" type="DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider, DotNetNuke.SqlDataProvider" connectionStringName="SiteSqlServer" upgradeConnectionString="" providerPath="~\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\" objectQualifier="dnn_" databaseOwner="dbo" />

Just to be clear, my user (dnn_usr) is set up with dbo rights and is the database owner, but it still would not install. I am too relieved to have finally gotten it installed to uninstall it and see if changing that line in the original web.config would allow it to install properly. I hope all this helps.

I figured out you can not use a number to start the in the objectQualifier name (i.e. 4everDNN_) once changed to DNN4ever_ everything worked as expected.
