InstallWizard.aspx - step 6 (Install Host Portal) dies with "Object reference not set to an instance 

I'm trying to install using the DotNetNuke_04.05.01_Source and all seems to work ok, compiling, access, etc., but the installation dies during the install wizard.

Specifically, InstallWizard.aspx - step 6 (Install Host Portal) . 

Error Installing Portal:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Following things in the debugger, this is I as far as get...

InstallWizard.aspx.vb (InstallPortal)  -->  PortalController.vb (CreatePortal)  --> at line 1200 objAdminUser.Username = Username     -->  UserInfo.vb  (UserName property)  --> at line 299  Me.Membership.Username = Value   --> UserInfo.vb  (Membership property)  -->  at line 197   UserController.GetUserMembership(Me)  -->  UserController.vb  (GetUserMemberships)  -->  at line 586 memberProvider.GetUserMembership(objUser)  causes the error. 

Oh, duh!!  I could have just copy and pasted in the stack trace.  Here it is:

Error creating Administrator user account.Object reference not set to an instance of an object.   at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserController.GetUserMembership(UserInfo& objUser) in C:\DotNetNuke_04.05.01_Source\Library\Components\Users\UserController.vb:line 589
   at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo.get_Membership() in C:\DotNetNuke_04.05.01_Source\Library\Components\Users\UserInfo.vb:line 197
   at DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo.set_Username(String Value) in C:\DotNetNuke_04.05.01_Source\Library\Components\Users\UserInfo.vb:line 299
   at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.CreatePortal(String PortalName, String FirstName, String LastName, String Username, String Password, String Email, String Description, String KeyWords, String TemplatePath, String TemplateFile, String HomeDirectory, String PortalAlias, String ServerPath, String ChildPath, Boolean IsChildPortal) in C:\DotNetNuke_04.05.01_Source\Library\Components\Portal\PortalController.vb:line 1200

 Anyway, I know it's gotta have something to do with the memberships provider, but I'm not sure what to do next and that was as far as I could go with the debugger.

Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope...

Re: InstallWizard.aspx - step 6 (Install Host Portal) dies with "Object reference not set to an instance 

Ok, so I figured this out.  It just had to do with not all of the projects loading, and therefore, compiling and working.  I guess I installed DNN in a folder with a bit too deed of a directory structure.  Visual Studi complained about not being able to have full filename and paths in the project that exceeded 260 chars.  Once I moved the folder from it's deep My Documents...... structure, VS was able to load all the projects, compile, and the wizard wenth though.  Of course I had to wipe out the old installation and database of course, since the old incomplete install info was still there and gave me problems.  So I wiped everything out and start over and all worked out.
