Installed the No Source version...on a IIS site...going to www.MySite.com/default.aspx just gives me a page not found...in fact every page in the site does.
Please can you verify that you have copied the **contents** of the "nopCommerceStore" directory to the root directory of your domain. A common mistake is to copy the directory itself (e.g. http://yourstore/nopCommerceStore/Default.aspx)
"An IIS Application is a directory, physical or virtual, that has been setup in a manner that makes it logically independent from the rest of the web-site. Its purpose is basically to make sub-directories act just like real web-sites, which is very useful on Win 2K/XP Pro, but not really necessary on a Server. Its important to understand that you cannot create an IIS Application simply using FTP or similar tools -- and this is the cause of many ASP.NET problems."
Generally if you are using a control panel to manage your domain, and have copied the contents of nopCommerce store to the root of the directory configured for your domain, it will be configured as an IIS application.
Therefore the only thing you need to check is that ASP.net 3.5 is installed and enabled.

Thanks so much. I had the wrong version of ASP.net selected. Now when accessing default.aspx I get:
