I tried to install nopCommerce last night, it worked partially, basically I got site run well in five minutes, except Admin area:

1. Get latest source code from Codeplex.
2. Change Nop.Web point to http://localhost:2451/, Nop.Admin to http://localhost:2451/Admin on IIS Express 7.5 (I think it will be same as IIS 7 too).
3. Create a blank NopCommerce database and provide installation screen with its information.
4. Admin area didn't work, although I tried to make it as a virtual directory under Nop.Web or a standalone web application, I always got this error (see picture). Don't understand what error mean since everything seems correct, it said there is no default document? my god, I saw both HomeController and Index action in Nop.Admin, didn't I?

Is there help? Thanks,

Are trying to create Nop.Admin as a virtual directory/application?

Sure, it is an application under Nop.Web (of course, an application too). I don't think Admin can be a standalone (not under Nop.Web) application since it has no both Global.asax and Web.config.

Thanks,

Your right, it is not able to standalone as its own IIS website, but it is also not meant to be be configuired as a virtual directory.

No extra configuration is required. Simple move Deployable\Nop_2.0\ to the IIS server and make it a website.

Ignore the fact that there is an \Administration\ folder.

You will be able to visit \Admin\ when on the website with no virtual application or additional website.

It worked now, thanks :)

I am unsure if this is correct, but the 2 batch builds are still unable to load some dlls.
By registering the following dlls with GACUTIL the batch files worked. But I get the impression that other ppl did not need to run GACUTIL. Is this the right way to do it?
Many thanks

I had a similar problem and I discovered the issue (after banging my head against the monitor for an hour).

Turned out that in "debug" mode my Windows 7 box would work ok, but in release mode (and running the batch deploy files) I had errors where some of the 3rd party DLLs included in the NopCommerce\Packages folder were not found... but how... I checked and they were there.

1) If you navigate to the file in the packages folder its complaining about, right click on the DLL and click properties and you will see...

2) Security: "This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer"

3) Click the Unblock button.

4) Go back to visual studio, hit compile, rinse repeat for any subsequenet compilation issues.

This would probably affect the batch files too.

That fixed my compilation problems.
