Hey there DNN'ers
I'm new to this and could use some guidance.
I have a win2k box, with VS 2005, + sql mgmt studio express already installed
I downloaded DNN (v 4.5.3) and installed it) (the startup package)
I start a new website in VS, use the DNN template and that gets me into the VS project fine
I get to the "welcome.html" screen "press Ctrl+ F5" and then choose the auto install method
I select the "Auto" option at the InstallWizard.aspx page
It starts running but I get these errors...

of course, There is no website due to these errors.
Any clues / direction would be appreciated.
I've run this 5 times now - same error. I cannot use the typical option, as it hangs on the sqlserver script page...
Thanks in advance!
