Installation Page won't open?

I have downloaded latest version of nopcommerce and I think done everything correctly.

I have opened the NopCommerce.sln file in Visual Studio and "Run" after also installing Sql Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio and creating a database therein.

This is on a brand new PC running Windows 11

Everything seemed to run ok but when I hit "Run" I was expecting to see the installation page to register the details of the newly created database but nothing happens - what am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Dave

What do you see?  Any error message?

No error message whatsoever, but I get this in the output box:

Build started...
========== Build: 0 succeeded, 0 failed, 5 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========


Not sure what any of that means?

Tried running again and got no message what so ever....

What version of Visual Studio are you running?  And do you have enough memory?  You need about 300 MB free to launch it in a browser.  I just tried it.  It's a little slow, but eventually it launched in my browser (Chrome).  I'm also using Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition.

How are you running it in VS? (which choice in the dropdown near the run button - IIS Express? Nop.Web?)

Open the VS Output Window.  Select Debug in drop down.  Run the app. Does anything show in output window?

Just out of interest have you been able to Build and Run the released version ?

Thank you,

This where I went wrong - being inexperienced I did not realise I needed to select Nop.Web here.

I did watch this video:

The resolution isn't great but it doesn't seem to indicate nop.web is selected, maybe a different version of VS

A big thank you to everyone for your replies!

Hi Yidna,

Yes this is the version I downloaded - I now have the installation page running and need to configure that but it is running as expected.

Thanks

RE: "I did not realise I needed to select Nop.Web here"
I've run it in both ways.  Typically using IIS Express (as it is the default).  Maybe it is something about your settings:

C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\config\templates\PersonalWebServer\applicationhost.config
