Actually, I have to agree.
The reason you should install from GoDaddy's hosting center is that the place databases on a separate server. I just finished installing 1.4 as an add-on to an existing site. I had trouble until I had an 'a-ha' moment. If this is going to be an app within an asp.net site, you are going to have two web.config files competing with each other.
Here's the fix:
go to your web.config in the root folder. Look for the httpHandlers tag. Take the contents (all the <add... statements) copy them into the same tag in your web.config in nopCommerce. be sure not to erase the tags already there! then change those 'add's that you just copied to 'remove's and take out the type and validate attributes.
There's a further explanation here: http://forums.asp.net/p/1060051/1519487.aspx. Look for the last post by 'bipro'.
btw - I installed as an add-on to an html site with no problem. Both ways you don't have to run the install utility, GoDaddy does it for you. But you will want to download the themes and at least some of the pages into VWD or whatever you use so you can customize the look.
