It appears that you have added a second connection string with name or key of "DotNetNuke" along with those with name or key of "SiteSqlServer" under the <connectionStrings> and the <appSettings> nodes of web.config.  Why, I'm not sure.  The connection strings for the name or keys of "SiteSqlServer" are totally incorrect for your configuration.  Those with the name or key of "DotNetNuke" appear to be nearly correct but will not be used.  It is the "SiteSqlServer" connection strings that DNN will be using.  Try the following:

<connectionStrings>
     <add name="SiteSqlServer"
              connectionString=".\SQLEXPRESS;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=dnnUser;pwd=dnnUser1;"
              providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

and

<appSettings>
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value=".\SQLEXPRESS;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=dnnUser;pwd=dnnUser1;" />

  <!-- other appSettings key-values here -->
</appSettings>

Thanks to everyone who has responded to this thread...

As suggested... I altered my web.conifg and managed to get it install! Thanks imagemaker!

But... I received the following error message at the end of the install!

I'm not sure what it means... but it obviously is the monkey that is stopping the show now.

Maybe its time I started over one more time... ???

I've recently been trying to install DNN 4.3.5 on my local machine as well.  I think I received every one of the errors you included in your original post when I tried to run the install.  I finally tried to verify that I could access my SQL 2000 Database by creating a test ODBC System DSN.  I could connect to the DotNetNuke database successfully, so I knew it wasn't a problem with my database.

I fixed the connectionString error by changing the SQL database Security properties to authenticate using "SQL Server and Windows" instead of just "Windows only".  This requires the database to use the uid and pwd that you setup for the database user assigned to the DotNetNuke database.

Once I changed the way the DotNetNuke database authenticated the login ID I ran the install again and it installed successfully.

Hope this helps.

I recently ran into a problem described earlier in this post when DNN portal functioned for several days and then suddently stopped - now when trying to connect I get different kinds of database errors similar to what is being discussed here.

I don't know the solution yet, but I think I might have found a problem. On the server machine (via local console) I went into Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager. This brought up the "SQL Server Configuration Manager" window (I use SQL Server 2005 Express). In that window, under "SQL Server 2005 Services" I see two items: "SQL Server (SQLEXRESS)" and "SQL Server Browser", both in the "Stopped" state. I suspect that this means that SQL Server is not running, thus DNN is not able to connect to the DB. The "SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS)" service is currently stopped even though it is configured to automatically start. Also, when I tried to start the service via right click > Start, I was not able to do so (after 10-15 seconds got the message "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details".

Now, I don't know what's the reason the SQL Server service is not running and cannot be started, but I suspect this might be a root cause for my DNN problem.

Here are the steps that I followed to resolve my problem (related specifically to DNN with SQL Express):
