Server Error in '/shop' Application

I'm still trying to install 1.4 (with source code), and am getting the following error when I attempt to access  www.mysite.com/nopCommerceStore/install/install.aspx

Here's the error:

Why did you upload all the the files to nopcommercestore?  

Usual practice is to upload all file within this directory to the root of the website.

I uploaded everything in the folders they were in when I unzipped the install.  It sounds like everything in the nopCommerceStore folder needs to be moved to the root?

Thats the way i would do it!

Excellent.  Things are being moved as I type.  I'll let you know how it works.  Thank you!!!!!!!!

just change your user (auth) and since noppcommerce did not allow blank password, try to add new account on your windows with password, and set your user (auth) on IIS to your new windows account. iy's work for me :)
