Think I found a solution guys.  I youre running 4.x You have to set-up the \ASPNET user as part of the "operators" in the IIS setup. The Metabase IIS error disappears but now I'm on to the next error.

"Cant connect to the database in Connectionstring  in ........"  Can the default DotNetNukeUser  user account be used in a Windows authenticated SQL server?  Can someone type here  a solid example of  a connection string in the web.config file ?  Mine is " .... Server=FPMANIX01\DBMANI01; Database=DotNetNuke; uid=RPUAD\abayunan; pw=xxxxx; " What am I doing wrong?

Do I still need to include the SQL instance name in the string?  Why do we still need to enter the user name and password when it(user) is already logged-on in the windows account? I am talking about the initial installation phase only, just to let the DNN installation execute and install up to the "click here to access your portal" page.

  Please help.
