Ok,  D:\sites\OpenSourceEdition\Core\DBDeployment.cs:line 35 is

It seems that "sqlcmd" is not installed. Did you install the SQL Server 2005 or 2008? If so, did you include the client tools like management studio?

have you ever heard of running into problems installing .net Framework 3.5 on a virtual dedicated server?

Never. Try re-imaging or re-creating the VM.

I got this eror when trying to access the app after installing. please advise.

Did you install ASP.NET 3.5? Please follow steps from here.

Yes i did install 3.5 already and followed the install guide to the best of my knowledge.

do i have to create a database or does the install create the database?

also i only needed to install the .net framework to the server correct?
