I'm using 4.3.3 and I have put in the connection strings for my database, but I keep getting the following error message:

Error Installing DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 04.03.03

ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

This is the connection string setup in my web.congif file:

  <connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005   -->
<add name="SiteSqlServer" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;Integrated Security=SSPI;" />

  </connectionStrings>

  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability -

legacy modules-->

    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;Integrated

Security=SSPI;" />

    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
    <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />
    <add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />
    <add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false"/>
    <add key="HostHeader" value="" /><!-- Host Header to remove from URL so

"www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as "www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->
    <add key="RemoveAngleBrackets" value="false" />
    <!--optionally strip angle brackets on public login and registration screens-->
  </appSettings>

Anyone have any clues how to get this working?

Oh yes, my OS is XP Pro SP2, P4, 1.8Mhx, 2Gigs of memory.

You are missing a username and password for your DB ie connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=user;pwd=password"

Connection Strings seem to be ok, did you configure your sql server for windows authentification?
