After three days of help my self. I got the thing installed up and running.

( I have a graduate level pass in subjet  web development in asp.net from an Australian University).  I can't imagine why it is so hard to set up.  All the error messages does'nt give a clue as to what is wrong.  I am not an expert, but it is pretty easy to  add some  (try, catch block to trap the errors in asp.net so that you can see the real error message )

Couple of advices to others like me

1. Ask your web hosing provider to set up write permission on the folder and subfolders where you are going to install it
2.  Change the provided web.config file line
    <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"  
      to
     <customErrors mode="Off"
    - need to be capital O  - in web.config file  
   You can / should change it back to "RemoteOnly" once the setup and debug is completed.

3.  Modify the  ConnectionStrings.config file so that the connection string for your database is included.
     Add any other connectionstring required for roleManager etc to the same file.

example : My Connectionstring.config file

<connectionStrings>
    <add name="NopSqlConnection" connectionString="Data Source=mssql002.newshop.com;Initial Catalog=mydatabasename;Integrated Security=False;Persist Security Info=False;User ID=myUserName;Password=MyPassword;Connect Timeout=120"/>
    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=mssql0003.newshop.com;Database=nopdb;User Id=myUserName;Password=MyPassword;Trusted_Connection=False;Connect Timeout=30;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>



Happy trouble shooting.
