Windows Server 2008 SP1 - IIS 7
.Net 3.5 SP1
 

I'm doing a brand new clean installation of DotNetNuke Community Edition 5.1.4 via the Install Package. When i get it the package installed and hit the site, it brings up the InstallWizard. From here I start receiving java script errors of the following:

Message: 'Type' is undefined
Line: 15
URI: http://localhost/dnn/js/dnn.js

Message: 'Type' is undefined
Line: 5
URI: http://localhost/dnn/js/dnn.xml.js

Line: 5

Message: 'dnn' is undefined

The the file permission test and the database connection test both return success. When it shows the big text box and starts executing the DB Scripts, it hangs there forever with no updates at all. No logging is created either. I have verified the connection string works, the db user is the owner of the DB. I found this old bug in the dnn support which tells exactly what i'm seeing.

Its an old bug, but its the fits my symptoms exactly. I verified that the System.Web.Extensions in the bin directory of the package is version 1.0.61231.0.

They only way i'm able to get the install to work is by using the Auto selection. If anyone could please help me out I would greatly appreciate it. If you need any more details please let me know.

Thanks

 the account running the app pool didn't have the full control permission, so I added it. Recycled the app pool and retried it. Exact same behavior, just hangs on the custom/typical install.

Thanks tho, any other thoughts?

 Every time I retry an installation I start from scratch, creating a new DB, a new virtual directory as app root, giving full control permission to all users. I even went ahead and gave Everyone full control on my last install. I no longer am touching the web.config manually and using the GUI to add my connection string which passes the test every time. I'm still getting the same javascript errors.

I'm starting to think its my installation of .Net 3.5 SP1 that is issue. Its the last update the box has received in a while. I'm going to try reinstalling it. I'm also setting up a new server to test on to make sure its not an environment issue on my test server only.

Thanks for the help so far Sebastian, if you have any other things to try let me know.
