Hi all,

I get the following when trying to install DNN for the first time:

ERROR: Your database user does not have sufficient permissions (dbo) to install

The odd thing? I do indeed have permissions. I went back into the database and checked to ensure that the Dbo database role is assigned to the user, which it is. What else am I missing that's completely obvious here? Database and web server are the same machine ... for now. Running Windows server 2012 R2, SQL Server 2014 express, named instance.

Dedicated user ... or ... at least I think I am. In order to get the user created, I created a custom login, and then used user mapping to map it to the corresponding database, then in turn, I made the user database owner. I somehow, not sure how, on the properties of the login, found the list of database roles, and was able to check d               atabase owner, however, was never able to find that screen again after that (though when I went back and checked role membership, literally every single role was checked on the database for that particular site).

please make sure, you are checking the uncommented entries in web.config, if you are using a plain text editor like notepad.exe, it is sometimes hard to identify the commented lines.
