Hi, does anyone know why I am getting this error?

Am I supposed to be changing validationKey and decryptionKey?

I basically unziped install.zip in the folder and changed connectionStrings for SQL DB.

Thank you,

Server Error in '/' Application.

I get the same results.  I have been at this for 2 days now. reinstalling, using virtual dir even create new web site, and the only way I can get it to work is with the ASP.NET Developer server.

 

Created using the instructions by Shaun Walker blog I get the above error.

Apparently there is a problem with the 4.3.4 installer.  It surely does not likr my XP or 2k3 machines.

Installed manually from zip, connected to the db and compiled with VWD and ALL went fine.

I hope this helps others out there with similar erorrs.
