Thank you but I am getting this error on my web server not local pc .. i am trying to install it on my web server .. Can someone please guide me..

Don't know about Plesk but in DotNetPanel there is an option to make a virtual directory (it also creates IIS application).
That's what you need to do with the directory that nopcommerce sits in.

When you say "option to make a virtual directory", do you mean create a "Web Site" ?
I don't explicitly see "virtual directory" anywhere.

thanks.

in dotnetpanel when you go in to your website and click on the website name it shows "Web Site Properties "
There you have a tab "Virtual Dirs"
Inside it you can create a new directory

thanks.
