Issues Installing DNN

Hi could anyone assist with DNN install.

I've loaded all files into a directory off the root called \DNN with modified web.config file.

When I run the install I get the following error??

Server Error in '/' Application.

You could try installing it using the Web Application Gallery in Control Panel.

Just specify the /dnn directory and the installer will overwrite the files you've uploaded and do a new installation from scratch.
