Error stock (at bottom)
4.3.5 was installed "successfully" locally (SQL Express).
After DNN goes through its install process, the standard initial home page loads, appears are fine, but note the URL already -
http://localhost/RP/Default.aspx?def=ErrorMessage
Any DNN action now will result in the crypto exception, actions like click on Login, Register, or Home link.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
On my machine, IIS is running both 1.1 and 2.0, one of the other apps being DNN 3.2 (but not active).
4.3.5 was previously installed in a different sub-folder.
Had used and modified release.config and applied needed changes, such as debug=true.
Components look OK in WebSite folders, including the mdf in app_data

On my machine, IIS is running 1.1 and 2.0, one of the other apps being DNN 3.2 (but not active).
4.3.5 was previously installed in a different sub-folder, but there were issues with that installation, so that attempt was de-installed (ie. removal from IIS, folder).
I somehow think the problem is created by the machineKeys. If I could narrow down the source of the problem, I could experiment with the solution. But what is the following stack trace really saying?
TIA
