Hi,

Sorry if this is a duplicate post, I've had a good look around and can't see anyone else with the same issue.

I've downloaded the latest install for DNN (via this page https://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com/relea...) and tried to run it as a new install (via visual studio development web server) but the site crashes on the second page of the wizard, I get a javascript error "Invalid character" in the jquery library and nothing happens are that.

Using the VS javascript debugger I can see in the call stack that the error seems to stem from some javascript used to update the progress bar found on the installation page, the line in question is...

var result = jQuery.parseJSON(status);

If I let the code run from here I get a further error of "Unable to get property 'progress' of undefined or null reference" in the same block of javascript code a few lines down...

if (result.progress < $("#progressbar").progressbar('value')) return;

Details of my installation;

• Running on Windows 7 64 bit (have also tried a Windows 7 32 bit but get same error).
• Using VS 2010
• Installing to new (blank) database on MS SQL server 2008
• Using a SQL user for authentication
• Have tried the suggestion of "unblocking" the zip file before downloading
• Given the NETWORKSERVICE user full control over the 

In addition to trying to run the installation using the wizard I also found that you can disable the wizard via  this web.config setting;

<add key="UseInstallWizard" value="false" />

running with this I am able to get successfully install DNN but when redirecting from the basic wizard page to the DNN site I get an object not set to an instance of an object error on this line...

if (PortalSettings.ActiveTab.PageHeadText != Null.NullString && !Globals.IsAdminControl())

... of the default.aspx code behind

I had a play with DNN 6 last year and didn't have any issues installing so to confirm that was still the case I downloaded the last release of DNN 6 (version 6.0.2.09 from here https://dotnetnuke.codeplex.com/relea...) and was again able to install that version without any problems at all using the same SQL server and running through VS 2010.

Any help would be appericated.

Thanks,

Ian.
