Typical problems:
=================
An exception occured while you try to create a new album.

An HTTP 404.3 exception occured or a problem occurs with web.config file while you try to run demo

You have installed IIS on Vista or Windows Server 2008 after installing .NET 3.5, therefore the IIS doesn't know the ASP.NET
Run command prompt as administrator (right click on command prompt icon in start menu then select run as administrator).
Type the following command: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
