I am receiving the error below.  I am attempting to install 4.8.4 Source Package on Server 2003, IIS6, VS2008, SQL Server 2005.  Has anyone seen this problem?  Some of my web.config settings:

<add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />

<add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />

<add key="UseInstallWizard" value="true"/>

<add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />

<add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />

<add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />

<add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false"/>

<add key="HostHeader" value="" />

It seems as though I am getting the error on this page: http://localhost/dnn/Install/InstallWizard.aspx

When I browse https://localhost/dnn It directs me to the page above.

Since you are trying to install the source version, you might want to browse around Michael Washington's adefwebserver.com site. I recall that he has some detailed instructions regarding installation.

I assume that you are installing the source package because you plan to develop some modules? You should NOT try to use the source package for a production site. Instead, you should use the install package.

Thanks for your response. Quick question regarding my environment - I have 3 machines. My Production machine has Server 2003 installed on it. My 2 other machines have Vista. Do you recommend I install the install package on Server 2003 and the source package on one of my Vista machines?

Thanks for your help ,

I recommend that you use the Install package on all of the machines that you intend to be production servers. Unless you plan to develop modules, you don't need to install the Source package. Actually, you don't need the source package unless you intend to modify the source code. That's something that I recommend that you should NOT do.
