Hello,

my client recently purchased BV version 6.0.3



I am attempting to setup a development environment similar to the BV5 version I setup to demo and sell the product.

Version 5 has a How-to document located at: [url=http://www.bvsoftware.com/BVCommerce5Manual/How%20To%27s/VisualStudioSetup.aspx]http://www.bvsoftware.com/BVCommerce5Manual/How%20To%27s/VisualStudioSetup.aspx[/url]



I'm recieving the following error. Can you help me out?

Environment: windows 7, visual studio 2010, IIS 7 .net 4.0 installed.

IIS setup: http://localhost:81/default.aspx

.net 4.0 web applications do work on



Thanks in advance. John

Also make sure you enable port 443 for SSL in basic settings.

When trying to run a local copy of the web store on IIS7 I get the error "Server Error in '/' Application. Required Permissions cannot be acquired."

When trying to run the site code in the Visual Studio Development Environment, I get a web page that says "Directory Listing" and it lists only my web.config file.

Anybody got any ideas?

Thankyou!

That got me to the point where the website told me that it was going to create the database.

But for some goofy reason, my SQLEXPRESS is not accepting my SA login.

I tried creating a new user/login with all kinds of permissions, but it won't accept that log in either.
( SQL also will not let me connect thru management studio using SQL Authentication with my SA password, so I am pretty sure that this is a SQL Server problem)
