So, I'm setting up dnn and I don't have any experience with it. I've read a couple books and watched a couple videos, but there are still lots of unanswered questions... anyway, I'm trying to install it, and on the database section, I'm getting this error:

Message: Unable to open the physical file "C:\Inetpub\TestSite\App_Data\dotnetnuke.mdf". Operating system error 32: "32(The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)".

I have checked that the file exists and that sql knows it's there. The only thing that would be using the process is sql, itself, which is 2005 Express.

Any Ideas?

Do you have SQL Express Management Studio connected to the database?

Personally, if you can use something besides SQL Express, it is issues like this that make me always suggest using SQL 2000 or SQL 2005 instead of Express.
