Going on my third day of trying to get DNN 4.8 installed on a brand new Sony Viao running WVU SP1. I have run through all the instructions I can find but still am saddled with this error:
HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
I have uninstalled and installed ASP.NET about 5 times and I have no indication that it isn't installed. I think it is my web.config. I have read instructions that say to rename the release.config file to web.config but there already is a web.config file so that didn't make sense to me so I'm running with the web.config that is in the DNN zip file. I have modiifed to include my SQL Express 2005 connection string but have not changed any other settings. Since the error I am getting mentions a missing handler I checked the web.config file and the Handler Mappings in II7. I noticed in the IIS settings neither the Default Website nor the actual website directory (which I have set as an application) have .aspx listed in the 'Path" column. So at the server level it appears that .aspx files have no mapping. Here is the web.config entry for the system.webServer node:

If anyone has DNN 4.8 running with SQL2005 Express on Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 I would gladly pay to see your web.config file and a snapshot of your IIS settings. Am I even on the right track here? I went and sold DNN like a big dog to one of my clients with a proof of concept set for Monday, and i can't even get an installation going.
