Please confirm

Did the install complete or does it try to run the install each time
i.e. Does it write the connection string to appsettings.json ?

If the install completed
What is in the stdout log when it tries to start ?

In the SQL Server Explorer of Visual Studio I can connect to the database and see the data in the table.

There seems to be no appsettings.json file

as i see this is a common bug

vs2022

installion works only if i do not check the the "create sample data"

FYI, for a new version of nopCommerce, I always first install the no source version, and run the install from there.  It has several advantages for me:
a) I verify that I have in place all the 'requirements' to run the version.  (.NET framework etc.)
b) the install runs faster ;)
c) I can test to be sure it runs OK "out of the box" (before I make custom changes)
d) I now have a place I can 'publish' my custom plugins/changes, and verify that they will work OK in production.

After I run the install with the no source version and it tests OK, I then download the source version, build it in VS, then copy files (e.g. appsettings.json, plugins.json)  from the no source's \App_Data folder to the source's \Presentation\Nop.Web\App_Data folder.
(I do have to manually 'synchronize' those .json files if I make changes to one or the other.)
