I've recently upgraded my hosting to II7 and .NET 4 and am running into problems with this release of Umbraco for .NET 4.
Now I am not being able to connect to the MySql database by any means - tried custom connection with no luck either.
Nevertheless, I've attempted to connect externally using the Portable Database Browser and it connected successfully.
Also, tried creating a simple aspx using visual basic and uploaded it to a /test/ folder under another subsite but still inside the same virtual space and the connection was also successful. (http://.../test/dbconntest.aspx )
For last, I've attempted to connect using Visual Studio. Downloaded the .NET 4 web deploy zip, extracted to my computer and ran it with Visual Studio. Got the same error message: Database connection initialisation failed. The installer cannot connect to the database.
I suspect there's something missing with this specific release because the .NET 3.5 was working perfectly just before upgrading (in the same shared hosting account)
Version 4.5.2 .NET 4 MySQL 5.09 Issue

Does anyone know of a possible fix for this?
Does anyone have even a clue? Maybe I'm doing something wrong and if that's the case then someone's experience in installing will set me straight.
To update my previous post - connecting to MSSQL works fine. Only MySQL fails.
My hosting is with a GODADDY account - shared windows hosting
Found a workaround: Install version 4.6.1 .NET 4 instead
This release worked fine the first try.
