I have followed the instructions and unZipped the DNN files and setup IIS 6. Since I am using MySQL as my database, I obtained the MySQL Data Provider for DNN 4.0.3 from Serene Web Software. As instructed my the MySQL Data Provider, I copied their Web Config and edited it for my DB setting. 

I also created a empty DB and set the permissions on the DB for the account that I will use to access it.

I have confirmed that the DB is accessiable  using the above referenced account via a simple VB Script.

I am using DNN 4.3.4, MySQL Data Provider 4.00.03, IIS6, Microsoft .NET Framework Version: 2.0.50727.42; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42

Note: This is a clean install of DNN.

I am hosting my own, so I have full access to everything.

When looking into the root I get this error:

DotNetNuke Upgrade Error

The Assembly Version ( [ASSEMBLYVERSION] ) does not match the Database Version ( [DATABASEVERSION] )

ERROR: Could not connect to database.

The type initializer for 'DotNetNuke.Data.DataProvider' threw an exception.

When I run the install from Localhost I get this:

Server Error in '/' Application.
