    Parser Error in application /

    Installed umbraco (latest version) on Windows XP, followed installation instructions for both IIS and Cassini. --Same error in both cases. The browsing to http://localhost/install/ returns HTTP 404, browsing to http://localhost/install/default.aspx returns  "Server Error in '/' Application." With the additional error message below: Parser Error Message: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.
    Source Error: Line 1:  <browsers> Line 2: 
    Line 3:    <browser refID="Default">

     

    I've double checked the ntfs permissions and the IIS configuration against the install guide numerous times.

    Any help is much appreciated.

    Did you try opening a txt file via your webbrowser? just put it in the root so you can request http://localhost/test.txt en punt something in the txt file like 'hello world'

    Did you check your security settings in IIS? is anonymous access enabled under "directory security"

    Did you configure .NET for the IIS instance and install the last version of the .NET framework?

    Problem solved! Found this link: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Umbraco/Installation/Installing_Umbraco_on_Windows_XP_Professional and was able to fix the installation. I had not modified the web.config file to reflect the website name. Thanks all for the responses!
