Hello,

I have downloaded and extracted the install code to my local drive. I'm using a SQL Server 2005 instance on another server. For some reason I keep getting this error "Could not load type 'DotNetNuke.Common.Global'." It is driving me crazy. I have rebooted, recycled, re-extracted, used different folders. I'm pulling my hair out.

Shoot, at this rate the old ASP.Net IBuySpy portal was easier than this. Ack!

Mike

This may not help you, but just in case it does...

I remember this once happening to me with an earlier version of DNN.  I don't remember 100% positive what the problem was, but I believe I was trying to install the source version instead of the install version. If it wasn't that, then I was doing something out of order.  I do remember having to start over from scratch when it happened.  It was definitely something that I overlooked. 

I hope someone steps in after me to help you out more.

Double check that the app_code folder exists and that the global.asax.vb and assemblyinfo.vb exists.

Try to check the version of ASP.NET it should be .NET 2.0

 

Also you may want to rebuild the DotNetNuke website

These are all great suggestions, let us know if none of this works, or what did work so that others will learn from this.
