I am having an issue installing DNN 7. I know this is something to do with the connection string but cannot figure out what. Current entries in connection string is pasted below.

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"/>
    

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=.\MSSQLSERVER2008;Database=DotNetNuke_7;uid=DotNetNuke_c;pwd=iS!K915fGs;"/>

Re: Install issue

Make sure that you aren't looking at the COMMENTED OUT connection strings.

Anything that is between

<!--

and

is a Comment in the web.config

Re: Install issue

You also apparently have both a SQL EXPRESS and a full SQL Server connection string. You should have two connection strings, one in the CONNECTIONSTRINGS node, and one in the AppSettings node. The value for each should be the same
