Two attempts at install of DNN 4.5.3 source on dev box fail with same error.  Error occurs when trying to set Authentication to windows and sync.  All fields filled as to spec in this post: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/89/threadid/53005/scope/posts/Default.aspx

Error:

Error: Windows Authentication is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.AddADSIPath(String Path, Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry(Path ADSIPath) at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSIProvider.GetNetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationController.NetworkStatus() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Authentication.AuthenticationSettings.cmdAuthenticationUpdate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I'lll check this out tomorrow but I've seen the error before in previous version of the source as well. I think if you clear out the authentication information in the ModuleSettings(?) table you'll be able to get back into it.

The only authentication settings in the modulesettings I see are

353 AuthenticationPassword CJ5e6ujaRWqjUV/4059BTLvtahKjfoLP
353 AuthenticationType Delegation
353 UserName wrn\wigwam
353 WindowsAuthentication True

What needs to be deleted?
BTW the error is:

Error: Windows Authentication is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.AddADSIPath(String Path, Path ADSIPath) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotNetNuke_2\Library\Components\ADSI\Utilities.vb:line 532 at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry(Path ADSIPath) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotNetNuke_2\Library\Components\ADSI\Utilities.vb:line 116 at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSI.Utilities.GetRootEntry() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotNetNuke_2\Library\Components\ADSI\Utilities.vb:line 108 at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.ADSIProvider.GetNetworkStatus() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotNetNuke_2\Library\Providers\AuthenticationProviders\ADSIProvider\ADSIProvider.vb:line 314 at DotNetNuke.Security.Authentication.AuthenticationController.NetworkStatus() in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotNetNuke_2\Library\Components\Authentication\AuthenticationController.vb:line 266 at DotNetNuke.Modules.Authentication.AuthenticationSettings.cmdAuthenticationUpdate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotNetNuke_2\Website\Admin\Security\AuthenticationSettings.ascx.vb:line 129 --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I'd delete all of them. I had some things come up at home today so I haven't looked at the code but will as soon as I can.
