I am having difficulties in installing DNN 4.5 on IIS 7.0.
I am using Vista enterprise edition iis 7.0, App pool created that runs in classic mode and has been configured to use framework 2.0. the DB sql 2005.
The steps that I have done are as follows
1) Download DNN 4.5 source
2) Created a Web app in IIS 6.0 and pointed it to DNN 4.5 source directory.
3) I renamed release.config to web.config
4) Created DB in SQL 2005 called Dotnetnuke
5) Created a user DNNUser with DB owner privileges on the Dotnetnuke DB.
6) Added in my connection string in the web.onfig file.
7) Opened the DNN 4.5 source project in vs2005
8) Set the install.aspx page as the default start up page in vs2005
9) Gave Network service and internet guest account full privilages on the Web application.
10) Press ctrl f5 in Vs2005.
I get the error message:
Error Installing DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 04.05.00
ERROR: providerPath folder C:\path…\DNN\DotNetNuke\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\ specified for SqlDataProvider does not exist on web server
Sorry if I am doing something wrong here, but can someone please try to assist in what is going on?
thanks in advance
