In trying to install DNN 4.4.1 onto a W2K3 SP2 server running IIS6 and SQL 2000 SP4. I'm performing a new clean install using "Source" and so far I've done the following:
 
1. Copied contents of website folder to a folder on the server, D:\MyDNN
2. Created a virtual directory, MyDNN, and pointed it to D:\MyDNN
3. Set default.aspx as the default page.
4. Renamed release.config to web.config
5. Created a new database, MyDNN, on the SQL server.
6. Assigned a new login to this database
7. Added the Network Service account and assigned it full permissions.
8. Copied the DotNetNuke.install.config file from the \Install directory to D:\MyDNN.
 

 

<connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=MyServer;Database=DNN;uid=MyDomain\user;pwd=*******;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
   -->
  </connectionStrings>
 
<appSettings>
       <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=MyServer;Database=DNN;uid=MyDomain\user;pwd=*******;"/>
    -->
  </appSettings>

 

 
Error Installing DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 04.04.01
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
 
I'm not sure if this is needed but I proceed to the SqlDataProvider and add the same connection string: 
 
connectionString="MyServer;Database=DNN;uid=MyDomain\user;pwd=*******;"
 
I get the same error. I can use SQL Analyzer to log in to the database using the assigned account. This account has been granted the necessary permissions so at this point I can't tell if the issue is with SQL or IIS.   
At my wits end. Any responses are appreciated.

Here's the first error I get after modifying the ConnectStrings & AppSettings:
