DotNetNuke Installation Wizard Keeps on Loading

Coming to straight to the point. I am installing DNN and the installation wizard just keeps on loading and loading. Even if I fill the fields but links are not working. Apparently javascript hasn't loaded properly.

And at the bottom of the page I get the error

"No valid default database connection detected. Standard Database setup option is unavailable Database Connection Error"

The connection string in my web.config is

connectionString="Server=QANITA-NOTEBOOK; Database=DotNetNuke; User ID=qanita; Password=123456;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

I am having no problem when I try to connect from Sql Management Studio using the username and password mentioned in connection string. Can anybody help me here?

One simple thing you can try installing it with your virus scanner off. Also make sure you have the latest version(s) of all your prerequsitie programs. - Techie Joe

When you connect using SSMS are you using the servername QANITA-NOTEBOOK or are you using LOCAL

You could also try a single period . for the servername.

In the web.config, be sure to look at the comment areas <!-- -->, as the default connectionstring in DNN is for SQL Express, and your string might be commented out.
