I get the above  error with 4.3.5 after I have set everything up for a dotnetnuke on a particular Win 2003 server.

On other Windows 2003 servers I do net get the error. But on this server whatever I try I keep getting the error.

I've follwed all the steps:

• unzip the install package
• setup the database
• setup database login
• set permissions on the folder
• configure IIS (i've tried virtual directory and a directory under c:\inetpub\wwwroot
• configure web.config (connectionstring settings at 2 locations)
• perform the installation on http://localhost/dotnetnuke

I've given full rights to asp.net and to network service account. But keep on getting the error on this particular server. The only difference I can see is that I have used remote desktop to install everything on that server.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Chad,

Thank you for the suggestion.

First I have tried removing the reports zip file from the install\modules folder as someone else suggested.

That did not work.

I have tried with 4.3.4: same error, and finally with 4.0.3.

The worst thing is: I've been testing and using DNN at my site and this was the first customer where I have been given the opportunity to install a solution with DNN. So far with no results. Imagine , I've tried several things for the last 10 days and their patience with DNN might be running out.

They only have one windows server (2003) ( I began with a small customer), I cannot install it on another server there.

Maybe WSS next time.

Chad,

I had removed all modules zip files before , but I removed all of them. I stil received the same error. But I am willing to give it another try with text/html and login remaining.

How can I trace exactly when this problem occurs? Is that possible? Is there a log that i can view?

It does occur almost instantaneously , not one ot the normal install messages appears on the page when you start the installation procedure.
