Getting started. Installing and upgrading nopCommerce.

Before posting the questions, please read the following articles. They describe how to download nopCommerce software, upload it to your server, define the file permissions, and install it on your system. You'll also get information on how to upgrade nopCommerce to the latest version.

P.S. This topic is just an announcement about new articles. Please do not post questions here. Please create new topics for new questions about installation or configuration

Regarding topic 3) in Upgrading nopCommerce
3.You have to upgrade stepwise. For example, if your current version is 2.00 and the latest available version is 2.30, then you have to upgrade to 2.10, then to 2.20, and then to 2.30. So download the required upgrade scripts from our Downloads page.
Are there any special instructions when previous version is 1.x?

Regarding the Documentation Page
I would also include something alike the Touble Shooting paragraph of Upgrading nopCommerce with the folowing additions and changes:

Troubleshooting
If you have any questions, you can always search or post a question on our forums.
If when doing advance search you cannot find what you need, , then try a Google search focused into NopCommerce site:
[your search words site:nopcommerce.com]

Thanks!

No. They're the same as for all versions. Just download the upgrade scripts and follow the instructions in readme.txt file

Any ideas for seamless upgrades? Are there any methods for upgrading/posting changes without bringing the site down?

By the way, version 1.9 takes a long time to compile on the server. Sometimes 15-30 minutes for me. Do the new versions 2.X take less time? Has anyone compared the difference?

I read the documentatio of the Nocommerce shopping cart and it's not working for me.

can some one help me please. I'm tring the nocommerce shopping cart to use it as a local machine using visual studio.  when I opened the "Nopcommerce.sln" file i get a error message that says "one or more projects in the solution were not loaded correctly".

I tried to build the solution and i get an error message "mvc...does not exist and other 188 errors. I need help as I got stuck in running it from my visual studio 2010 please.

Thank you for your help.

you need to go to http://www.asp.net/mvc and download MVC3 runtime and install it first.
Secondly normally the folder cannot be loaded problem comes if you are using VS Express edition but in your case its the problem of MVC3 not being installed.
