Did you figure it out? I have the same problem when I try to install 4.3.5 on my host where I have sucessfully installed 3.1.1 and 3.2.2 (They are all separate installs for different customers). The only diffence in this installation is .net 2.0 and a little different web.config or am I missing something. I have installed this version without problem on my developement machine...

Hi, the asnwer is no. I have many problems even if i use 4.0.3 (my last runing version). Now i'm think to setup a virgin xp sp2 and dnn and nothing else.I don't now what to do?  i have  extrem not reliable behaviors. Even if i try to make just a new setup of a portal with version 4.0.3,  the next day the portal doesn't run!  Maybe the web server?
