Installation Failed with unclear error

I copied the files to my servers root address.  Created an MS SQL Server 2008 database. Then accessed the site expecting to get the installation page.  Instead I got the following error message:

We're sorry, an internal error occurred.

Our supporting staff has been notified of this error and will address the issue shortly.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please try clicking your browsers 'back' button or try reloading the home page.  

If you continue to receive this message, please try again in a little while.

Thank you for your patience.


How do I proceed at this point?

To find out what went wrong you need to turn off the custom errors mode.
1. Open web.config file
2. Find out the following line <customErrors defaultRedirect="errorpage.htm" mode="RemoteOnly">
3. Replace it with <customErrors defaultRedirect="errorpage.htm" mode="Off">

It did as you said and have addressed my issues and installed the software.

Thanks for your quick reply!

I logged into the admin interface but the drop down menus do not work.  
I am using IE 10 and know there are issues running sites with javascript so I switched to Google Crome
and I get the same behavior.

Is there a recommended browser for using the admin pages?

I have not hear anothing from my last post.  

WHen logging in to the admin page the menu does not work.  I click on the drop-down menu and nothing happens.  I can not configure nopcommerce and therefore find it unusable.

Please advise.

update your webconfig to include trust to full

At your root folder.
If you are using sources, then in Presentation/Nop.Web

Anurag007 was correct.  Adding the following to my Web.config file solved the issue:

<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <trust level="Full" />
  </system.web>
</configuration>
