I know this installation issue has been brought up before, but it never seems to get clearly answered, so I thought I'd post it again since I'm experiencing some problems with a fresh installation of DNN4.5.1. I get the following error:

Configuration Error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'FreeTextBox' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Source Error:

Line 67:     <httpHandlers>
Line 68:       <!-- This is for FTB 3.0 support -->
Line 69:       <add verb="GET" path="FtbWebResource.axd" type="FreeTextBoxControls.AssemblyResourceHandler, FreeTextBox" />
Line 70:       <!-- This is for CAPTCHA support -->
Line 71:       <add verb="*" path="*.captcha.aspx" type="DotNetNuke.UI.WebControls.CaptchaHandler, DotNetNuke" />

Source File: C:\dnn437\web.config    Line: 69

Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'FreeTextBox' could not be loaded.

WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF.
To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.
Note: There is some performance penalty associated with assembly bind failure logging.
To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog].

It seems to be referencing my "dnn437" folder, which contains an older DNN installation. Why it's looking in this folder for ANYTHING is beyond me. Anyone know what's causing this, or how to address it?

Thanks!

Did you use your old web.config file? or use the 4.5.1 config file and copy over the proper strings?

I used the web.config file from the new 4.5.1 install, didn't make any changes to it at all.

Is it possible your IIS is pointed to the incorrect folder somehow?

I double-checked it, and is pointed to the correct folder. Is it a problem that I'm running multiple versions of DNN on one machine? (I've got 4.3.7 and 4.4.1 already installed)
