Install Version 4.0.2 

I downloaded Version 4.0.2 unzipped the files and placed them in a folder DotNetNuke which I placed in C:\Websites\DotNetNuke.

I then opened VWD and created a new database called Database.mdf in SQL Server 2005 Express.

Next I renamed release.config and edit web.config as below

<connectionStrings>

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->

<add name="DotNetNuke" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005

<add

name="SiteSqlServer"

connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

-->

</connectionStrings>

<appSettings>

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->

<add key="DotNetNuke" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"/>

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>

-->

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

<!-- Alternative Install Templates (included in package)

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

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

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

-->

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

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

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

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

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

</appSettings>

 

I get the following error when I hit control F5.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
