I had the same problem too. You just need to move the features.config file first to the DNN ROOT and I think it will fix the problem with the modules not installing. I would go to module definitions and it would get pissed off (after install). I think I moved features.config to the root and everyting fell into place
I told it to install all the modules it found and good things happened. Note step 2.5 :-D
Just made a few small fixes and reposted the full steps.
Steps to install DotNetNuke 4.4.0 on 1and1 MS Hosting
1. [web files] Upload DNN install to /tmp directory
2. [web files] Unpack to root and rename to /dnn
2.5 [web files] Copy /dnn/config/features.config to /dnn (TEST after install to make sure modules install, post your results)
3. [web files] Set /dnn settings to give full permissions to all users (probably should tighten up to only allow what we need)
4. [web files] Add /dnn to applications
5. Modify web.config for your SQL server settings (two different places). Also change the dbo entry to your db username (databaseOwner="dboxxxxxxx")
6. [web files] Upload web.config to /dnn
7. Launch site.com/dnn to install everything. DO NOT ENTER SITE
8. Launch SQL admin and go to query analyser.
9. Enter "select * from portalalias" and hit submit. HTTPAlias should say site.com/dnn
10. Enter the following 3 lines, then hit submit. Notice the no trailing slash.
update PortalAlias
set HTTPAlias = 'www.site.com'
where PortalAliasID = 1
11. Do step 9 again to verify the HTTPalias is now www.site.com
12. Go to your FTP client, move the contents of /dnn to the root of your site. (all permissions that were set in webfiles will stay with the files) THIS IS A BIG TIME SAVER!
13. Go to the root of your website and enjoy! You should not have to copy the siteurls.config (I don't think I did, because when I tried to copy it prematurely, it was already there!)
I've uploaded the install.zip, unzipped it to "\", renamed the newly created dir to "DNN", copied features.config to \DNN, gave IUSR full access to \DNN, made \DNN an application, commented out the sqlserverexpress lines and added my db user/pw info to web.config then uploaded it to \DNN... I get this:
"

Any ideas?
