Been looking at this for hours, trying to figure out what I have set incorrectly.  I'm using the install package for DNN 4.0.2  Unzipped all the files, set the file permissions, updated the web.config according to the installation guide.  I have created the virutal directory in IIS, and set the permissions as directed, and updated the ASP tab to make sure it had ASP 2.xxxx selected. 

But I have obviously missed something.  When I try to navigate to http://localhost/DotNetNuke    (That's the virtual directory name)  I get a not authorized to view the page error http 403.

Any thoughts or suggestions, on what I might have missed, or set up incorrectly?

I just looked at one of my sites on Win 2K3 and the permissions are set as follows:
NETWORK SERVICE   Modify
IUSER_Machine_Name  Read/Execute

If I remove the IUSR account, the site prompts for a login.

You might also look at the Directory Security tab->Authentication and access control for the site in IIS Manager to ensure that Anonymous access and Windows Authentication access are enabled. Even after years of working on these sites, security is a bit of a mystery to me.

Thnx for the suggestion.

I'm actually finally getting somewhere.  I decided to unzip the source instead fot he install package.  When i tried to open the solution I got a notice that the web service extensions for asp.net 2.0 were not enabled.

Turns out there was no entry for asp.net 2.0 in IIS.  Maybe I didn't select something when i installed Visual Studio 2005.  Now I'm just down to some database conneciton issues...
