Hi everyone, this is my first time trying to use xoops. Looks absolutly brilliant. Unfortunately I'm having some real issues installing though. I can get so far through the install, but when it comes to the module install part of the setup the page is just blank and says..done at the bottom .

I can login to the XOOPS site fine, but when i go to the modules section I get this error. .........
(I'm on Windows Hosting with IIS with my provider, Microsoft Internet Information Services 7.5, and php 5, MySQL 5) . Please could someone heeeellllp meee it's driving me nuts. XOOPS looks brilliant and I'm itching to get it working. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

btw (I don't have access to much because it's shared hosting )

Most likely causes:

* IIS received the request; however, an internal error occurred during the processing of the request. The root cause of this error depends on which module handles the request and what was happening in the worker process when this error occurred.
* IIS was not able to access the web.config file for the Web site or application. This can occur if the NTFS permissions are set incorrectly.
* IIS was not able to process configuration for the Web site or application.
* The authenticated user does not have permission to use this DLL.
* The request is mapped to a managed handler but the .NET Extensibility Feature is not installed.

Things you can try:

* Ensure that the NTFS permissions for the web.config file are correct and allow access to the Web server's machine account.
* Check the event logs to see if any additional information was logged.
* Verify the permissions for the DLL.
* Install the .NET Extensibility feature if the request is mapped to a managed handler.
* Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.

Links and More Information This error means that there was a problem while processing the request. The request was received by the Web server, but during processing a fatal error occurred, causing the 500 error.
