Hi Mghanem

As our community member mentioned above, you should use <label style="display: inline-block;" for="databaseType_1">SQL Server</label>/SQL Express when you install DotNetNuke. For this DotNetNuke installation issue, I'd like to suggest you to get help from DNN support: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/Support, perhaps you can get precise troubleshooting there.

At the same time you can also take a look at this DotNetNuke installation document, perhaps it can give some hints for you.
