Installation won't start

I have downloaded and built NC2.3 using VS2010.  I ran prepare and deploy and uploaded all files in deployable.  My domain is nop.tech405crm.com.  When I try to go to nop.tech405crm.com/install, i get the following error page:

http://nop.tech405crm.com/errorpage.htm?aspxerrorpath=/install

I don't have an install folder on my webserver.  Where does this folder point to?  How does it point to it?  

Do you need more info to help me with my question?

Does anyone know the answer to these questions?  How do you get to the /install path?  What has to be in place for this to happen?  I bought the 2.3 guide and also watched the video, but no luck.  Are there certain dependencies I need to confirm.  Any help to get me started would be awesome.

Thanks.

Not sure how you get it when you build but it's in the NoSource zip file.

I am not as up to speed on this as most of the other guys on here, but here is the little I know about it.

If you are using the no-source files you just need to upload all files to your web server and browse to your address, don't add the /install at the end. If everything is setup correctly on your web server the installation should launch.

The web server requires .NET4 and MVC3, as far as I know.

You are getting this error page because it is set in your "web.config" file not to display errors to remote hosts, only to the local server. If you want to see what the error actually is you need to edit your "web.config" file as follows:

Find - <customErrors defaultRedirect="errorpage.htm" mode="RemoteOnly">

and change to - <customErrors defaultRedirect="errorpage.htm" mode="Off">

then upload again to your server.

Then when you browse to your domain you will get an error page with specific error messages telling you what is wrong, or at least you can hope you will :) Unless you are familiar with how this solution is built it may not make much sense :(

Hope this helps...

Thanks Glenn.  I turned off the errors to display remote errors and found out that it was all permissions.

I am using the user guide and the Set Permissions section is AFTER the installation section.  

To whom it may concern, please move the set permissions section to BEFORE the installation section.

jhaveman, you may be able to help me out, I am having an issue with authentication for an install and I don't have the guide (I have purchased it for previous versions but I don't want to have to purchase it for every new release!).

Can you tell me what permissions need to be set and where, before I start the installation?

Cheers...

Write permissions for the following:

Directories
  Your site root directory <--remember to do this one too
  \App_Data\
  \bin\
  \Content\
  \Content\Images\
  \Content\Images\Thumbs\
  \Content\files\ExportImport\
  \Plugins\
  \Plugins\bin\

Files
  \web.config

You may need to specify Global.asax as well.

Is this the error you were getting:

"Access to the path '\wwwroot\Plugins\bin\Nop.Plugin.DiscountRules.BillingCountry.dll' is denied."

This is the error I get with a fresh install, but there is no "\Plugins\bin" dir. There is a plugins, but no bin inside it.

I was unable to set the permissions to my root folder, so I had to set the permissions for all of the config files and global.asax file individually.

It worked.  Fresh upload, fresh database, fresh (correct) permissions.

2.3 up and running.
