Here is what my connection string looks like in webconfig

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=localhost\SQLExpress;Database=cms_****;User ID=*****;Password=*****;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=(local);Database=;User ID=;Password=;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> -->
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=localhost\SQLExpress;Database=cms_ur****;User ID=*****;Password=*****;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" />
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=;uid=;pwd=;"/>-->

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

your connection string is totally mashed up, you are specifying user name and password and also want to use integrated security and you specify a database name as well as a database file name.

I suggest to start copying release.config to web.config and call your site, the installation wizard will show up and guide you through database setup.
