Greetings,
I seem to have run into a snag with the installation. Specs are as follows

BVC 5.3
Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3
IIS 5.1
ASP.NET 2.0.5x
SQLEXPRESS with SQL Server Management Studio Express installed
connectionStrings as follows <add name="Bvc5Database" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=Bvc5;Integrated Security=True"/>

ASPNET has full permissions to Bvc5 folder and DBOwner is ASPNET as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is the error message:

Thank you

Whenever you see object reference exceptions due to UrlRewriter, then the problem is really with the SQL Server database. If the web site cannot talk with the SQL Server database, you get this error.
