Hi,
I am installing DotNetNuke 4.0.2 (source version) on XP (pro) with SQL2005. I have previously installed every version of DNN without major problems. This is a vanilla installation with a new DB. I have tried every instruction and read every article on this version but I just can't get it to install properly. I have:
installed the directory under inetpub (and root) given ASPNET god like permissions on the webroot (and even the entire file system)
inherited permissions to children,
specifically checked permissions to all files and folder including Web.config
enabled/disabled/enabled simple file sharing in XP with full permisions to ASPNET
but whatever I do (and I've tried installing over 20 times with a fresh DB every time) I get the following:

and on trying to load the portal after a failed install I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error on
PortalId = objPortalAliasInfo.PortalID
I am completely frustrated. I didn't have this problem with 4.0.1 and I've tried it on 3 different machines with the same setup with the same result. I can see the database has been created every time.
Has ANYBODY got this configuration to work? Can someone from the core team please investigate. It's driving me barmy. There has been a major oversight somewhere in the instructions (and yes I've read them ALL forwards and backwards). I've seen many posts with similar issues and no resolutions.
