I am a newbie trying to install DNN for the first time (this is not an upgrade) and I'm wondering if anybody can help me fix this error (sorry if this issue has been posted before). I completed all the steps up thru browsing to the install.aspx to run the install, and when I actually run the install I get this error:
Server Error in '/' Application.
