Can anyone help me with this DNN installation error?

Parser Error Message: The code subdirectory '/DNN_511_Work/App_Code/HTML/' does not exist.

Source Error:


Line 110:      -->
Line 111:      <codeSubDirectories>
Line 112:        <add directoryName="HTML" />
Line 113:      </codeSubDirectories>
Line 114:    </compilation>
 

Source File: C:\DotNetNuke Sites\DNN_511_Work\web.config    Line: 112

Some of the forums suggest some work-arounds, but I'm trying to understand the problem and a find a more professional solution.
 
I am using SQL Server 2008 Developers edition with XP Developer. Both have all the current updates.
I am installing DNN 5.1.1

I suspect that it is a permissions problem, but it didm't show up when I installed using SQL Server Express.
In fact, in the Express installation, the App_Code directory doesn't have a HTML directory.

I would really like to understand what's going on, and perhaps change the installation script, or change and document the installation instructions.

I would simply remove that, or comment it out, of your web.config file. I think the latest HTML module is compiled, rather than non-compiled so it doesn't have a codesubdirectory anymore.

Chris, Thanks for your response. I'll let you know if that works.

What would it take to prevent this problem from happening in the first place. I wouldn't think that I am the only one that has encountered this problem. The installation is the first impression that a person gets about the quality of DNN.  I suggest that we make it as pleasant as possible.

If the line can be removed from config.sys without causing any other problem, then it seems that should be done in the next release. 

This only happens when I use the non-express version of SQL Server. Do you have any idea why?

Gary

I offer my most humble apologies.

I had used an old web.config file that had the correct connection strings for SQL Server. Unfortunately it was for a previous version of DNN.

I used the proper version web.config and edited the connection string. Now it works.

Thanks, Gary Minor
