There is a problem with InstallWizard.aspx.  I dont know the cause of the issue but I have found a workaround. 

There is a routine called CheckVersion in Global.asax.vb that causes dotnetnuke to redirect to either install.aspx or installwizard.aspx based on the value of an appSetting in web.config.  The following appsetting is shipped with dotnetnuke:
<add key="UseInstallWizard" value="true" />
which causes dotnetnuke to redirect to the problematic installwizard.aspx.

Change the setting to:
<add key="UseInstallWizard" value="false" /> 
and dotnetnuke will redirect to install.aspx which will correctly install the database objects.

 Ive also been able to get it to work with the wizard but im in the process of reproducing and documenting.  I will post my steps.  stay tuned......

The reason for this is that the http pipeline is called for all requests in .net 2.0 on windows 2003 server.   This means that each request is handled by the modules configured in web.config.  The URLRewrite module is the source of our pain.  While you may be using XP, the local built-in (non-IIS) webserver in VS2005 simulates this scenario.   The requests for the .js files which enable ajax callbacks are failing because of dotnetnuke attempting to treat it as a request for a dotnetnuke file.  When it tries to figure out the alias for one of the js files necessary for ajax, it fails because the db is not installed yet.  It works under XP and IIS because the pipeline is not called for files like .gif, .jpg, .js, etc.
