Since I posted that first reply, I downloaded 4.3.2 Install Version, and set it up on my XP2 Pro Machine with SQL Server 2005 and IIS 5.1. No VS involved (but could have been).
Here are the steps (sorry it is so messy - I was typing as I went):
- Download Install.zip
while downloading, create new SQL2005 DB, set dnnUser as owner (during creation) called it dnn432.
- Unzipped Install.Zip to inetpub\wwwroot - creating a new folder called dnn432
- open IIS control and refresh sites when unzip complete (will then show folder as a normal folder)
- right click and configure server extensions if you plan to open in VS or jump to :
select properties -> if you did not config FP extensions, hit the "create" button on the directory panel if no application name is selected (is greyed out)
- go to the documents tab and set default doc as default.aspx
- go to the ASPNET tab and ensure version 2.0.5.... is selected
- -> Say OK
Your folder shouls now look like a virtual web folder (green/grey box instead of yellow windows folder)
- right click dnn432folder in windows explorer and verify ASPNET account has full control permissions on folder and all subfolders/files (should be inherited - if not select this so it inherits control from wwwroot - or set here) - mine did not since I unzipped directly to the wwwroot folder. Perhaps creating the folder, setting the permissions and inheritence then copying the files and folders into that folder would work better - not sure. Make sure to set permissions on all folders! (add the correct account - ASPNET for XP)
- Double check a lower level folder especially "portals" - it needs to show ASPNET has full control
- go to web.config and open to edit (notepad is fine as well as VS)
- enter the appropriate connection string info in both places (I'm using SQL Server 2005 on my laptop - not express - adjust to your environment)
- enter default DB, user ID (or integrated sec if you want), etc.
- Save the file then close it.
- go to your browser and enter in localhost/webname or simply go to IIS and right click on default.aspx and choose "browse" (then you do not have to enter anything in the browser)

Click Here To Access Your Portal
No errors or any issues found - and if you wait a second before clicking the link above to access the portal - it wil serve the site the first time normally. If you get an error at first, just hit refresh - XP sometimes peters out. I have a Dell D820 (dual core) with 2GB RAM and it still will time out on occasion. Hitting refresh will finish up and all is well from there...
I hope this helps you and all others running into problems. Make sure to adjust as needed for the SQL version and DNN package used. Also remember - if you configure server extensions after setting permissions on the folders, you will have to reset them again, as I've found it strips permissions.
Good luck
