Hello,

Ive made several installations off both umbraco 4.6, 4.7 and uCommerce 2.0, but I always end up with a empty Product Catalog.

My webconfig.xml contains the <commerce> section, the umbraco/config/create/UI.xml contains lots of ucommerce nodes and my database contains several inputs of ucommerce in various tables.

When I click on the Product Category and choose "create" I get a popup where I fill in a name and a create button, after a while I get this exception:

            
Server Error in '/' Application.

My guess is that this exception is related to the problem that there is nothing in the Product Category to begin with.

Does someone know what the problem is? Or how I should proceed to solve this problem? I really need help with this one.

P.s.
After the installation I need to go to the user section and add the ucommerce to the admin list, by checking the checkbox, which is not mentioned in the installation is done, all you need to do is press F5..
Please add this to your installation is complete instructions.
