I have tried to install a vergin DNN 4.09 to a web and DB server multiple times and get to the same point every time.  I think it is related to the Active Directory provider fix posts from 4.07 to 4.08 but do not like simple replace code in the global app start session start or what ever.  I'd like to point point exactly in the globalasx.vb needs to be changed.

My scenario is:

Copy web code to new virtual IIS dir

Make a SQL DB

Change the web config db login credentials

Make asp.net and network service accounts have full control of the directory

Launch the installwizard

Select Custom Install

Verify Create Folder / File ,Delete Folder/File on directory (PASS)

Verify / Confirm DB settings from my direct Mods to web.config and Test Connection - PASS

All DB Scripts Execute Fine - PASS (Install starts with 4.4.0 and goes up to 4.9.0.

Enter password and email for host account PASS

Modules , check on all of them NEXT

Additional Security Prviders - Select Active Directory and CardSpace - NEXT (LiveID and OpenID are checked and greyed out.) - NEXT

No Addl Skins or Containers - NEXT

FAILS HERE

Value Cannot be Null Paramter Name :Value

Config:

Windows Server 2003 Enterprise -

IIS 6.0

SQL 2000

Any thoughts?
