I have tried to manually install nopCommerce using SQLExpress 2008 and IIS7.0 but I receive the following error when trying to load any pages in Internet Explorer.
Server Error in '/' Application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would prefer not to use Visual Studio to integrate nopCommerce, would possible to use Dreamweaver? Please could you tell me the difference between the 'source' and 'no source' downloads? I do not know how to compile the applicaton, please could you help?
You should download the no source version. This does not contain the source code for the other class libraries in the nopCommerce solution.
If all you are doing is changing the presentation (css etc.) then yes you can do this in Dreamweaver. Either that or use the free Visual Web Developer Express Edition.
