404 Error before install routine runs

The error is:

This error (HTTP 404 Not Found) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but the page you wanted was not found. It's possible that the webpage is temporarily unavailable. Alternatively, the website might have changed or removed the webpage.

For more information about HTTP errors, see Help.

The address bar reads:

http://localhost/mhnk

this is the site created in IIS by the Web PI that installed Kartris. Yes it is port 80.

I can install and run the site in IIS 8.0 Express, is that how you did it? I would prefer to install and run the site in the full IIS not the express. I would expect since you can install the site from the full IIS's Web PI it should work out of the box so I think I'm missing something or the installer is.

I select Kartris from the gallery and use the WPI to set my connection string. When the site launches it gets a 404 error. I'm using Windows 8. When I look in the web.config I see my proper database connection. The globalization line is still commented out. Tags 404, install.windows 8

You really have to go through a lot to get it to do any .Net version lower than 4. Just to be sure I checked it. .Net 4 integrated. Edited Fri 31 May 2013 by ssaurus

What address shows in the URL address bar on the browser? Just to confirm, it is a 404 not another error (always double check as the number of times customers report a 'page not found' when they see 'page cannot be displayed' is surprisingly high - those messages are a little too similar). -- If my post solves your issue, can you 'Mark as Answer' so it's easier for other users to find in future.

Even Microsoft's own SIR tool (which is used to validate and create a hash for zips of new submissions) doesn't install properly, only on IIS express. It's easy enough to install manually to IIS though... just copy in the files, create a db, create a web and then the install routine should fire up and help you sort the rest. -- If my post solves your issue, can you 'Mark as Answer' so it's easier for other users to find in future.
