Hi Daniel

Did you follow the nuget installation documentation here http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/install-umbraco-with-nuget ?

Otherwise please try and double check using this.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jan

I followed all the steps on their website, but I am still getting the error. Tho I noticed when installing Umbraco as an application, I am getting this message in the console 'Global.asax' already exists and Web.config' already exists. Skipping...

So I tried to delete all the config files and global.asax. But now I am getting a new error:
```
The view '/umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
/umbraco/install/views/index.cshtml
```

I simply found out that the case it didn't work is because I needed to update Visual Studio 2012 for their new update, version 4.

So if anyone is getting this kind of errors trying to install Umbraco 7 through Visual Studio 2012

Error 1

Error 2
