 Trying to install DNN and hit a snag. It got to the point of asking me about themes (I have none) so just clicked Next. I then got an error which is what I get everytime I try to access the site. Any suggestions? Thanks

Sorry for the duplicate post. Some more information. When I get to the point about installing optional skins (I tried re-installing again), this is the error I'm seeing:

As a hunch I downloaded the install package, I was using the source package, and I was able to install DNN without any errors
