I am having problems installing version 5.5.1, I am using Windows Server 2008 and IIS 7.0. I am trying to install DNN 5.5.1 Community Edition using the Microsoft Web App Gallery, also I am using SQL Server 2008, and in IIS I am using ASP 4.0 Classic for my appllication pool.

The application installs, goes to the DNN setup screens, the permissions check is successful, I enter the DB parameters, then then installer starts to install the database scripts when the following happens:

Upgrading Database to Version 05.05.00...Success

I never used the webinstaller from Microsoft to install DotNetNuke.  I think it hapens with permissions on the files and folders and database permissions.

I suggest to use the install package from http://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com and reading the Blog from Joe Brinkman included to the resources he posted on his blog http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/B... !

If I found the time I would try the Webinstaller from the gallery to force out what is going on.

Thanks for the quick reply Matthias, your advise solved the problem. There must be some problem with the Microsoft Web App Installer. If you find a solution please post. Thanks again.
