Manual Installation of Umbraco 4.7.0.378 in Windows 2003 (x64)
I have been attempting to manually install Umbraco on a Windows Server 2003 (x64) machine, and I am running into some issues. I initially tried to use the Microsoft Web Platform Installer, but that wouldn't recognize my SQL Server installation so i switched to the manual process. I have copied all of the Umbraco files into a directory, created the database, created a new web site in IIS that points to this directory and configured the web site to use ASP.NET 4.0.
The next step (according to other manual installation guides I have found) is to just go the new site (we'll call it http://test.umbraco.com) and I should be led through an installation process which I assume creates the user accounts and tables in the database. However when I go to that URL, I receive a server error with the message "Invalid object name 'umbracoDomains'.". Makes sense as there are not yet any tables in the database I have created. I have verifed that the connection string I am using in the web.config file is correct, so I am kind of at a loss to figure out what the problem is.
I have tried the manual install on windows 7 with IIS 7 and Windows 2003 Server with IIS 6.0 and it was very straight foreward as I am new to umbraco. I didn't face any issues.I am not getting any pointers from your error message.
Thank you very much for your help. I deleted the contents of my web directory, recopied the Umbraco files, recreated the database and ensured that I had the permissions for the database and file system that were specified in the URL you provided. It looks like everything is working fine now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check this guide : http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/how-to-install-umbraco-on-windows-server-2008
Especially check the permission section for windows 2003.
