Here is my story... I can now (after a lot of practice) get an install up and running on my local machine of 4.0.2 ysing VS2005 and the DB in VS. What I really need is to install it on my hosted account (just added a SQL 2000 account to it). So here is what I did:
1. Click to create a new site, using the Starter Kit - pointed to a local Virtual Directory that I had created for the project
2. Modified the release.config to point at the sql 2000 instance that I had created w/ the hosting company
3. Saved release config as WEB config
4. Built the project - which went succcessfuly (later examination showed all table created on the server)
5. Before the WEB page could execute the WEB portion of the install, I FTP'd the docs to my hosted account
6. Attempt to run the default.aspx page to install the app on the WEB server and receive the following error:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
