Problems installing RC3 (System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.)
Hi!
During which step of the installation does this error occur? I.e. what action is displayed below the progress bar?
I have a hunch that this error occurs when the manager is rummaging through the .NET framweork folders in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework. The manager might be thrown off track if there are any folders that start with "v[number].", but are not legal version numbers.
Which folders are present there?

Sorry for the late feedback...
The EPi manager says:
Download complete
[Progress bar]
Running assembly installer for /bin/EPiServer.dll
[Progress bar]
Cannot install files: The installation failed, and the rollback has been performed. [Input string was not in a correct format.]
The framework folder (C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework) contains these version folders:
v1.0.3705
v1.1.4322
v2.0.5072
v3.0

Another question: Does it have anything to do with my name? The "Ø" character? In addition, there seem to be an additional space or some other character before my surname. In the line "licensedto = Lars Øyvind Bodahl"

Finally!! :) I got the same error message trying to install Episerver 4.61, so I tried a quick fix: Reinstall Windows!
Well, it wasn't that quick, but it solved the problem. I have no idea wether it was the sql installation, the windows os, the .net framework or something else that crashed, but reinstalling actually helped.
