First-time installer question:  my connection string in 4.0.2 DNN for SQL 2005 Express use is currently this:

connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;DataBase=DotNetNuke;uid=myname;pwd=mypwd;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|DotNetNuke.mdf"

I created DotNetNuke.mdf in Sql Express and can see it and interact with it.  But when I go to the DNN website I I get this message:
DotNetNuke Upgrade Error
The Assembly Version ( [ASSEMBLYVERSION] ) does not match the Database Version ( [DATABASEVERSION] )
ERROR: Could not connect to database.
Unable to open the physical file "C:\DotNetNuke\WebSite\App_Data\DotNetNuke.mdf". Operating system error 2: "2(The system cannot find the file specified.)". Could not attach file 'C:\DotNetNuke\WebSite\App_Data\DotNetNuke.mdf' as database 'DotNetNuke'.
Evidently the "DataDirectory" term is a directive to make DNN look in "App_Data".  My DotNetNuke.mdf file lives way over in the SQL Express path, but when I try to use that path I get "Invalid characters in path".  I've tried both trailing slashes and double-slashes.  How can I point DNN to my mdf file?
