This happens on attempting the Auto install of the application framework. I'd attempted the Typical install prior to this which just

hung on the script install.

I suspect this may have something to do with my documents being located on d:\my documents

Hi Leupold,

I have tried this several times with the same result having re-installed the framework. It fails to copy one of the zip files which I move manually. Then I create a web site from the DNN template again and it fails with the same problems.

Which part should I restart installation on?

Ok I have downloaded several times as I explained but there is a problem which seems to be related to  my  import settings being d:/my documents which cause an error.. This I believe is the primary problem, however many times I retry.
