When I go to http://localhost/DotNetNuke I get the below error.  I tried changing load user to "True" and I also tried changing v4.0 in IIS7 but I am still getting the below error.

please check your web.config is not read-only and that the executing web user has permissions to modify the file - DotNetNuke detects when a site is running .net4.0 and updates the web.config to work corretly i.e. setting compileversion etc.

I have no idea how this happened but the folder had a lock symbol on it. I tried many methods to get control or permissions to edit the fodler.
Even with full access tot eh folder I could not edit it.  I just created a new folder and draged the fodler in it.  When I deleted the new folder I was able to
start the project over. 

The great news is I am able to get the wizard open in the browser; however,  I did not set up a database because I assumed I could use the express
edition to do an auto install.  Unfortunately, I do not have the auto install option meaning I do not have an express edition on my system.  What is the best
way to proceed?  Uninstall everything and install me a fresh copy of express edition then restart the project over?  Or do you think installing the express edition
then rerunning the wizard should resolve the issue.  Any advise is great and thanks for your support!

I am good to go and thanks for the response.  I reinstalled SQL Express and ran the install wizard with no problems.
