Hi,
I'm having a recurring problem with a fresh 4.3.5 installation using the "Source" download. (Win Server 2003, .NET 2.0) I've followed the Installation Guide PDF and the install.readme to the letter. We're connecting to an existing SQL2000 instance on a remote server where I have created a blank "DotNetNuke" database. When I browse to the Virtual Directory to begin the install script, I get a generic "Page Can Not Be Displayed" message. Looking over at the DB, I see one new table, "Version", with no rows, and three new SProcs, "GetDatabaseVersion", "FindDatabaseVersion", and "UpdateDatabaseVersion". So the app is obviously connecting successfully to the DB. Looking further in the event log, I find an application warning containing:

It seems it may be failing on the "CheckVersion()" function, but that's just a guess. Is there anything specific about the connect string for a SQL2K instance? Is it possible to get this into VisualStudio into debug mode, where I could track it myself? Too many questions... ;)
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated here. We are looking at the DNN platform for a major website overhaul, I am on a time deadline, and frankly, I've spent far too much time trying to solve this already.
