Antonio, firstly thanks a million for replying!
Unfortunatley the install didn't work. :(
I went through the setup wizard steps and everything was fine except that it couldn't connect to the database
a few times. Frist time it failed I changed from Windows to SQL authentication. That didn't work so I swicthed
back and it seemed to work ok.
This is the error I get at the end of the install when browsing to http://localhost/dnn434/
I got this same error a couple of days ago also.
XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

-^I then gave the NEWORK SERVICE user account full access on the DNN folder and got this error:

Same as before. :(
I checked the install log file (set to log level LOW) and everything seems fine. It included the fact that connecting to the
database failed a few times. But, I've tested the DB connection in VS2005 and it's fine.
I'm really at a loss here. I've seen people mention in posts that the user ASPNET must have read/write access to the
dnn website folder. I haven't got that user on my system. Is it specific to Windows2003?
Thanks again for your help Antonio.
