Won't install

I am trying to install the latest Orion trial. While installing I am given the error "Error creating website. See Configuration log for details."

When I look at the log, I am not given any information that can help me fix the issue. The log file is below.

I am trying to run this on Server 2003 SP2.

Any tips anyone could give me would be much appreciated.

For whatever reason, manually creating a site named "Solarwinds", setting that site to use a specific IP and port, THEN running the configuration wizard, telling it to use the same IP and port as the manually configured site, caused the Wizard to say something about a site being found with that data and asking if I wanted to use that site. I clicked yes. After clicking yes, the install completed. The odd thing was that rather than use the existing website found (the one I created manually), it made a NEW website with the same IP and port.

Thanks a lot for the tip. I did exactly what you did and it worked but it simply used the existing website rather than creating a duplicate.

I am running Windows 2003 SP1 on VirtualPC 2007 and I am using SQL Express 2005

Thanks again
