So far, I managed to install DNN only through templates of Starter Kits.
ONLY!

What’s wrong with my install steps?

My developing environment is [1], below.

I unzip
DotNetNuke_Community_04.09.04_Install.zip
into newly created
O:\vgvProjs2009\2008Proj\_DNN\DNN4_9_4\Inst494http

I give full NTFS permissions to this dir and its subdirectories for aspnet user

I create virtual directory for it named
Inst494http

In VS2008 File > Open > Web site… > (Local IIS) Inst494http

I answer (No or Yes - no impact on resut) to suggestion to upgrade website from .NET 2.0 to 3.5

Then I copy Development.config to web.config (renaming web.config to web.configdev)

In VSTS I pres Ctrl+F5 and step through (Next, Test links clicking) accepting default option
http://localhost/Install494http/Install/InstallWizard.aspx
in webpages of IE
ending up with
Congratulations, you have successfully installed DotNetNuke

Pressing
Finished (Go to site)
link brings me
IE flickering endlessly without showing anything

Closing IE and relaunching
http://localhost/Inst494http/Default.aspx
envokes webpage with
 

The application is currently is offline. To enable the application, remove the app_offline.htm file from the application directory

But there is no such file!

Closing IE and relaunching http://localhost/Inst494http/Default.aspx
Is redirected to
http://localhost/Inst494http/Install/UnderConstruction.htm

The same unhappy endings for various versions including 5.x both for  Source and Install packs...
I tried it in various combinations many times

Though install through templates of Starter Kits work for me...

[1] My developer environment:
I use Visual Studio Team System 2008 SP1
MS SQL Server 2005 Express
MS Windows XP Pro SP3 rus
IE 6.0 SP3
Isolated from net computer

Well there are a few things to check, since it looks like your installation was ok.  I would first look and see if you have a trailing /install at the end of your portal alias.  You can view this via the PortalAlias table in SQL Server.

If your alias has that at the end, simply remove it, then recycle the website in IIS and you will be set to go.
