 I am trying to install DNN community.04.09.03, but with a SQL Server 2008 (local) database.  I am running into issues with the installation not being able to find the .mdf file.  I have verified the .mdf file is located on my machine but it's under MSSQL.10.  Is this why DNN can't find the file?  Is it expecting MSSQL09?

 either use database.mdf in /app_data folder of your dotnetnuke installation and file based connection string in your web.config or (as I always prefer) create a blank database using SQL Server Management Studio (Express), create a login account to use and grant db owner permission for your database to him. In web.config (or install wizard) use classic connection string using the database name, username and password or database name, and integrated security.
