thanks but that didnt help. i am able to get the solution to build in vs but still cant get the deploy.bat to work. i am trying to deploy manually but can't seem to make that work either. just very frustrated. versions prior to 2.0 were very easy compared to the new mvc versions.

does anyone know of a step by step to get the new version set up in iis?

Basically make sure that you have following installed

.Net Framework 4.0
MVC 3.0 Tools update
Entity Framework 4.1.

Then start with a freshly unzipped source files.

Eidt Nop.Web.csproj and Nop.Admin.csproj to change compilation to Release mode as in the previous link.

Run prepare.bat first, then run deploy.bat. It should compile.

I downloaded the Nop2.1 version from CodePlex, but the Nop.Web.csproj is still 2kb, so I cannot modify the configuration from "Debug" to "Release". Any ideas?

Any updates on this ? I too get an error when I run Deploy.bat :(

I re-downloaded Nop2.1 many times and I also have MVC3, VS2010, ASP.NET 4 installed. However, I still cannot install the nop2.1 because of deploying issue. :(

i have the same error as ciwan.. build fails when i start deploy.bat..

when running only prepare.bat is runs smooht, without any error..
runing deploy.bat after always ends with error saying the following:

"D:\_nop_commerce\2.1\nopCommerce_2.10_Source\build\nop.proj" (Deploy ta
rget) (1) ->

any info or help would be apreciated
