Errors when installing nop

I have installed a fresh copy of nopCommerce 3.9 along with Visual Studio 2017. I keep getting these errors when building & publishing Nop.Web. Please help!

What is with this directory name C:\Users\*\Documents ?? Seems funny

I’d make a new direct called c:\development and unpack the source version in there called c:\development\nopCommerce_3.90_Source

Then open it with visual studio and try and build - no need to publish until you can build successfully in development

The * was just used to hide my personal directory name.

When you unpack the rar/zip file, be sure to first Unblock the file.

Try to rebuild just the Nop.Web project first, then rebuild the solution.

Thanks!

I now get "The target "GatherAllFilesToPublish" does not exist in the project."
