you need to run SQL Server Express and use proper connection string syntax for user instance database.

to install DNN on SQL Server, create a new empty database and an account with dbowner permission. Use "database=...;user=...;pwd=...." or "database=...;integratedSecurity=true" in your web.config connection string (instead of referencing database.mdf).
