I'm on Win 2003 and MS SQL 2008. I had the same issue but finally sorted it by replacing the ./sqlexpress string in the umbraco db connection string in the previous step with my actual server name (although logically the same really as the web server is also localhost). In my case this was "DAVBLAHBLAHETC\SQLEXPRESS". Use the server name given to you when connecting to the db in Sql Management studio.
Installation error: "Upgrading from this version is not supported."
Fresh Umbraco 4.0.3 install using IIS7 / windows 2008 / MS SQL 2008 sp1 gives the below error and stacktrace. Does anyone know why?
Upgrading from this version is not supported.
Exception Details: System.NotSupportedException: Upgrading from this version is not supported.

Hi Boby,
This looks like a SQLServer issue. Check you UmbracoDbUser has correct permissions on your database. Also see:
