Hi!

I have same error message when I try to browse http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2/ in order to install it. I did anything that I know. And I read again and again installation guide and these forum pages. I also did a clean reinstall but it didn't work. My installations: MSSQL Server 2000, MS .NET Framework 2.0, DNN 4.3.3

I really need help and any help would be appreciated!

I had exactly the same problem on a W2K server. turned out that the user group "Everyone" didn't have it's default permission anymore (for safety reasons) causing ASPNET to be denied to know the exact path to the application. Which is a must to be able to create folders...

So, resolution in my case: give "Everyone" read permission on the drive. (Thanks to Kees Klootwijk of Capgemini Netherlands)

I got this when I tried to install 3.3.2 and 4.3.2 at the same time, but if you have a slower machine you could also have this problems.  It appears that this is a timout issue and the Thread is being aborted because it thinks the process is deadlocked.  This is a .Net issues not a DNN issue. We have added quiet a few core modules and I think we are hitting a threshold on slower machines or machine that are doing other things while the install is being done.

I would do a clean install and this time move the all the modules except the HTMLText and Links module to another directory.  Then acceess the site and this time is should completed.  You can then copy the other modules back into the \install\module\ directory and run DNN using the following URL.

{your domain}/install/install.aspx?mode=InstallResources

Apparently your correct! Thanks. I was having the same problem as above, and after following your advice, I was able to get the site up.

1. Deleted all modules in Install folder, except for HTML Text and Links modules.

2. Deleted db

3. Created new db

4. Used: {your domain}/install/install.aspx?mode=Install

5. The site loaded this time

6. Loaded other modules into Install folder

7. Used: {your domain}/install/install.aspx?mode=InstallResources

So I guess the next question is, what is to be done about the time issue?

Thanks

Mark
