Ok that helped alot I think. But now when I right click on my virtual directory and click browse to test it, I navigate to install, and install.aspx, and it shows the following message: 
Error Installing DotNetNuke
Current Assembly Version: 04.03.05
ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider
I have tried connecting to it via my browser as well: http://localhost/ImpAlliance/Install/install.aspx
But at that link I get this error message:
