Abstract: We consider compactifications of type II string theory using exact internal CFT's with central charge $c=9+epsilon$, $|epsilon|ll1$, leading to an effective potential for the dilaton. For $epsilon>0$ the potential is positive and the dilaton is ultimately driven to weak coupling. For $epsilon<0$ the dilaton is driven to strong coupling, but we can stabilise the background by including D-branes. The resulting minimum admits an $Ad{S}_4$ solution where the cosmological constant is of the order $epsilo{n}^3$ and the string coupling constant is of order $epsilon$. Furthermore these CFT's typically do not possess any massless or tachyonic modes. Thus these vacua provide exact CFT descriptions of moduli stabilisation in weakly coupled string theory.
