That is very odd. Normally odd problems mean the first thing to check is whether your file permissions are correct as if not it can throw up some very strange issues. Try giving Network Service account full permissions to the entire Umbraco folder (and make sure it propagates down). You can always secure it properly once it is up and running.
Thank yo very much for you reply. I was waiting a couple of days and nobody responded to my question. I had to move on and I installed it with MSSQL Express, not my option but I had no choice. It is working fine now and I do not know if there is a real benefit in using mysql. It is not in production yet and I could move it on mysql database. Any thoughts on this. Thank you!
I don't see any problem with using SQL Express, Umbraco does not usually create a large database so the restrictions of SQL Express are not significant..
