I have had a terrible time installing DNN. I started with the plugin provided by WH4L, but found that the provided version (4.8.0) had several modules that were pretty far out of date.
I tried to update the modules, but had so much trouble that I gave up and decided to install a fresh copy of 4.82 in a clean directory. On installation, I get an unspecified application error.
The WH4L service team tells me that my problem is due to SQL Express, which they are not supporting.
I have not intentionally tried to use SQL X and would be pleased to select SQL 2005 if I could get to that point in the installation.
Has anyone had similar problems? Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Try this
First create the db via our control panel.
extract all the files into the folder you want to install.
Edit web.config and set the following key in the appSettings section:
ADD key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=sqlip;Database=dbname;uid=dbid;pwd=dbpwd;"
remember to replace the sqlip, dbname, dbid, dbpwd which the db that you created via our cp.
After that, just browse to your dnn site and being the installation.

Well, it's an easy task to install DNN at webhost4life. Really!
1. Create MS SQL DB via control panel.
2. Download DNN zip-file from DNN website.
Important note: When using IE7 for the download, the DNN zip-file has to be unblocked! Right-click downloaded DNN zip-file, select 'Properties' and click 'Unblock'.
3. Open DNN zip-file and extract (copy) web.config.
4. Open web.config and change 'connectionStrings' and 'appSettings' sections (see below).
connectionStrings
add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=sqlxxx.mysite4now.com;Database=dbname;uid=dbuserid;pwd=dbpassword;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
appSettings
add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=sqlxxx.mysite4now.com;Database=dbname;uid=dbuserid;pwd=dbpassword;"
xxx = your MS SQL server number
dbname = your MS SQL data base name
dbuserid = your MS SQL data base user id
dbpassword = your MS SQL data base password
Note: Remove all SQL Express entries and don't forget to comment out the SQL server strings mentioned above.
5. Save web.config file and copy it back to zip-file.
6. Upload DNN zip-file to your webhost4life account.
7. Unzip the DNN zip file.
8. Browse your DNN site.
That's all. If you have any questions, post them here. Thanks.
