After searching around on the Forums & Google I was unable to find anybody else running into an issue I have been running into since installing DNN 3.2.2.  I am testing out DNN 3.2.2 for the purpose of using it in my companies Intranet environment.  I followed the options for setting it up for "Windows Authentication" and everything seems to work lovely, until I go to install additional modules or skins.  If I use the /install/install.aspx?mode=Install an error comes up now that the Windows Authentication is setup.

Error below....


Server Error in '/DNN' Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   DotNetNuke.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule.OnAuthenticateRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) +25
   System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication+IExecutionStep.Execute() +60
   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +87


Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.1.4322.2300; ASP.NET Version:1.1.4322.2300


End Error Report...

If I remove the check under "Admin" -> "Authentication" -> "Windows Authentication" and then remark the

<add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Authentication" />

in the web.config my situations is Not working either.  When I load up /install/install.aspx?mode=Install it simply produces a white screen with nothing on it.  HTML below..

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

If I just remark out the Authentication line in the web.config yet leave the "Windows Authentication" check it produces the same result (blank page)..

If I remove the check for "Windows Authentication" yet leave the Authentication line it does the same thing (blank page).

Has anybody else ran into this problem before?  If so, how did you resolve the issue?
Thanks,
Jeff
