Hi,

we are trying to install latest version and we have got to the point where Database is fine we tested with VS 2005 and connection works fine.  When we try to run the install page we get error "

Error Installing DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 04.03.05

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

"

In uor web.config we setup our connection string as

  <connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;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=user-f5556bf10d;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=hassan;pwd=Buster;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
   -->

  </connectionStrings>
 

We are using SQL Server 2005  (not express 2005)

Can someone please tell us what we are doing wrong.

Many thanks 

have you tried both connection strings?

I usually uncomment the one Im using or delete the one Im not using.
