in the readme.txt file:

  - set the connection string in web.config in TWO places ( ie. )

OK. Where are the two places? and what do I write? Should I really  write  "SiteSqlServer" or does that stand for a name of a SiteSql Server in my computer? If so where do I have this name written? What is (local)? is this another placemark for a special  something name in my computer? If so where do I find the writing that  belongs here?

< connectionString >

and

< appSettings >

are the sections that contain the connection strings.

name="SiteSqlServer" specifies that the connection string is to a SQL server.

Server=(local) is the location of the SQL server (computer name or IP). If you write local without parenthesis, it thinks the SQL server is on a computer named local. The parenthesis tells it that local means "this machine".

username and password are accounts that can authenticate to your SQL server. If you are using SQL Express, and you do an auto-install, you shouldn't have to do any database configuration.
