Hello,

I am installing (not upgrading) DotNetNuke version 4.5.5 on my computer

I followed everything stated in this article http://www.mitchelsellers.com/Blogs/tabid/54/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/119/Installing-DotNetNuke-455-Locally.aspx

But now I have an error that I don't know how to handle, and it's kinda annoying me so I need a little help here.

What should I do to manage it?

Note that I followed every single step in the article, and my connection string is the following "server=localhost\\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_connection=true;database=*****;"

Server Error in '/DotNetNuke455' Application.

Instance failure.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.InvalidOperationException: Instance failure.

Instead of two slashes between the server and the instance in the connection string, only put one. server=localhost\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_connection=true;database=***;" You can also use this dot syntax: server=.\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_connection=true;database=***;"

I tried them both, but now I am redirected to the "under construction" page! What should I do, it's really freaking me now! I have to make it work!

You will get the Under Construction page if you have set the AutoUpgrade="False" in the web.config. Set AutoUpgrade="True" to complete the install, or you can try navigating directly to the Install page.
