thats odd, i haven't heard any reports of that - i'd recommend downloading a fresh copy in case the zip was corrupted - or perhaps use Microsofts Web PI product to handle it for you.

Buy the new Professional DNN7: Open Source .NET CMS Platform book Amazon US

I found this post http://forums.asp.net/t/887716.aspx and one of the solutions was to check the IIS properties and make sure the ast.net version was assigned.  I did this and mine was blank so I assigned it, stopped and restarted the site, closed and reopened my browser and then it worked.
