 So I was starting to see this error after installing a new DotNetNuke 4.6.2 web application.  Here is the order I did things.

  1. Download the install file 'DotNetNuke_04.06.02_Install.zip' from the DotNetNuke website to my development machine.
  2. Copy the file from my development machine to a network share.
  3. Take a new Dell SC440, install Windows Server 2003 Std.
  4. Add the machine to the domain.
  5. Install all the patches 
  6. Install SQL 2005 Std.
  7. Add "Application Server" role
  8. Use the windows un-zip tool to extract the install file.
  9. Copy the files to the deploy path and create an IIS website for it.
  10. Update the web.config
  11. View the website 'http://localhost/Install/Default.aspx'
  12. Error.
Server Error in '/' Application.

Now here is what killed me in that list...  Don't ask me WHY it caused issues, but I followed the same steps 3 times and this fixed it each time...  Don't use the Windows un-zip tool.  I used Win-RAR and all the sudden it worked.  I guess file got corrupted or something.  who knows.
