Hi,

I am installing DNN v 6.0.1 (latest version) on my computer at work which is running Win XP Pro and I get the following problem every time I try to install. I get past the first few checks and I can configure the database properly but it hangs on the "Building your database" step. It will stay there for hours if I let it. I have to use the task manager to kill the process and when I go back in to the installation, it automatically goes to the host login section but I wasn't able to complete that part previously because it hangs on the step before.

I've done some research and some people have said that they clicked on F5 while it was hanging and that took them to the next step but that doesn't work for me. Has anyone encountered this problem?

Thanks

Hi,

Ya, I am using the sql login that I have created and mapped it to the user that I have created also. I tried the manual install this time and I'm getting issues this way as well. I went through the instructional video and the only thing I can't do is set the App Pool because I'm using IIS 5.1. When I look at the error logs it errors out on the CREATE TABLE statements that use NVARCHAR (MAX) and the other error logs show that it errors out on "Invalid object name 'sys.objects'.". I've tried installing on SQLExpress also and I get errors as well. Most of the errors are due to the fact that the table does not exist because they are not getting created because of the NVARCHAR (MAX) issue.

I'm using Win XP and SQL 2005 with IIS 5.1...is it even possible to install it with this configuration?

Thanks
