1.8 Installation assistance needed

Hi,

First I installed v 1.6 straight from godaddy. I really like it. I figured I would go ahead and try to get 1.8 installed while I'm at it.

Here is what I'm getting so far on the index page. I put it in code so that it can be easier to see.

Server Error in '/perfect3dgift' Application.

Configuration Error

The reason you're getting this error because godaddy doesn't support 4.0 framework and nopCommerce 1.7 and 1.8 requires 4.0 framework.

nopCommerce 1.6 and previous versions are based on 3.5 framework which is supported by godaddy.

You have 2 options:

Either stays with godaddy and work with 1.6 version OR change your hosting company to that which support 4.0 and go for the latest version of nopCommerce.

Here are few hosting companies which support 4.0 framework: Arvixe, Softsys Hosting, LLC, Applied Innovations

Thanks, I think I will stay with 1.6 for now. I will probably make the change down the road.
