nopCommerce 2.0 Installation

I have been installing nopCommerce since v1.4 and have never had a problem getting it down following simple instructions like create database, run script, ftp the files and run the application.

I am no expert at .NET or nopCommerce, now with 2.0 I am sort of stumped with no clear step by step instructions and reading all the threads is creating more confusion.

I am trying to install / publish nopCommerce 2.0 on the my local windows 7 enterprise +MSSQL 2008 + IIS 7 + ASP.NET 4.0 + MVC (3.0) machine and it seems to be complicated.

I have created the database, I have created a site in IIS7, extracted and copied the No_Source files the the physical folder path specified in IIS7 website settings. when i try to access the site there is nothing other than a connection error page.

I went ahead an investigated further and didnt see a default.aspx page in the directory nor I could find the database scripts that used to exist so im guessing things have changed or evolved quite a it in the development of nopCommerce 2.0.

is there any one who can give dumb me step by step instructions on what needs to be done to get 2.0 up and running.

Appreciate your responses.

Yes, a lot of things were changed due to moving to MVC and code-first

thank you for the response Andrei, even if I wanted to deploy just the application using : nopCommerce 2.00 (no source) (9.60 MB)

I would still need visual studio ?

No, you don't need VS in case you're deploying "no source" version

The video was removed. Where can I find another tutorial?

Thanks.
