I cannot get past step 1 in the installation wizard. ( I can install DNN 6 onto this server with no problems and I can install DNN 7 onto my home PC with no issues, but on the webserver it is failing.)

1. i notice none of the  help icons work, ( __doPostBack('lblConfirmPassword$cmdHelp','')) Just cause a post back with no help popup. Makes me think there is a script issue perhaps.

2. I keep getting Object qualifier is required error, and on the same screen Database connection error. I can connect fine to the DB with the connection string using another app.

Any ideas...

OK I cannot get past step one either and I have instll several previous versoins of DDN on 2003 with sql 2005 std.

This machine is 2008 R2, SQL 2008 Expres IIS 7 and all network Service permission have bee applied. IIS Application pool is pointed to the right folder with proper permission. Nothing works I can at leas get to the Verifying database no matter what I choose .\SQLExpress is not a valid user when I choose SA mix mode for sql or Integrated Auth. This SUCKS it used to be a lot easier.

Even the Web Installer 4.5 cannot get the SQL Express to connect. If I cannot get this going I am going to have to revert back toe Apache and some other CMS.
