I am trying to get DNN 4.0.2 up and running on my windows 2003 SP1 domain conroller.  IIS is installed, asp.net 2.0 is installed.  SQLExpress is installed.  I created a virtual directory called dnn under C:  I then granted NETWORK Service and IUSR full rights to those folders.  I installed the DB with a SQL user account, can log in fine.  Created a DB called DotNetNuke where my dnn is the db owner.  Again can log in fine.  Unzipped the install to the dnn folder. Renamed release.config to web.config.  Modified the connection strings to use the SQLExpress and my sa user.  Created an spereate Application in IIS called dnn and dot net nuke runs under it. 

When I try to get to the site, I get this error.  I also turned the custom errors to off and it still doesn't help.  Can any of you help me? 

Server Error in '/dnn' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".
