I saw Niels and Anders announcing in their new year's reception that they're opening up the v8 editor track and we could download the nightly from Our.
For some reason, for some people, files don't get copied during the NuGet install. If you have more info to share as to why that would be awesome since we can't reproduce.
Some people have been helped with the following info:
Use Visual Studio 2017 with the minimum version of 15.7, however, I am not sure if 15.9 is required these days, so it might be necessary to upgrade - EDIT: 15.9 is indeed required!
Start an new web application project with the Empty template (not MVC, not anything else, just Empty) and make sure to use .NET version 4.7.2 when creating the solution.
Gary can you zip up the blank solution you created (everything EXCEPT for the packages folder) and drop it somewhere for me to download to see what might have gone wrong?
1) I've installed Umbraco but not with the default configuration options (because I wanted to use SQL Server instead of SQL CE), but in that case you start your website without a starter kit.
Is there a way to install the starter kit afterwards? If I go to the "Packages"-section and search for "Starter kit" it doesn't return anything.
2) Is it possible to install Umbraco Forms to let my editors test this as well, or is this out of scope? And how about the Member-section?
I had exactly the same issue ( the Server Error in "/" application)
The problem was indeed - as [email protected] pointed out - that I did not install on .NET version 4.7.X, but used .NET 4.6.
This option remained the same from my previous projects, so I had to change it.
Once that was done, I was able to go through the complete set-up.
So answer to this post:
Make sure you select .NET version 4.7.2 when creating the solution
and you should be able to do the Umbraco V8 install.
Just tried installing this evening. Nuget installed apparently ok but when running up I get

It's a shame as I was hoping to start looking over the V8 UI this weekend.
I am getting the same error that Craig100 got, using the NuGet package this morning on a new project, with an empty Web Application targeting .Net t4.7.2. I also noticed that higher up in the log was an additional error, which I've copied below. It may be because it was an empty database at this point, and it hadn't yet created the migrations table, but I'm not sure.

Install Umbraco v8 nightly - Build error on Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplication
Hi all,
I saw Niels and Anders announcing in their new year's reception that they're opening up the v8 editor track and we could download the nightly from Our.
I just tried to do it following the steps on https://our.umbraco.com/download/. Essentially just installing the package via NuGet.
But if it's installed and hit build / F5, I get an build error:
Is the documentation not complete, or should I do something else?
Kindest regards,
Jeffrey
I too tried it over the weekend and got exactly the same (via nuget).
For some reason, for some people, files don't get copied during the NuGet install. If you have more info to share as to why that would be awesome since we can't reproduce.
Some people have been helped with the following info:
Does that help at all?
Hi Sebastian,
FYI: i also came across this issue just now with a new install. VS 15.9 and .NET Version 4.7.2 with a blank Empty Website Project.
Could not load type Umbraco.Web.UmbracoApplicationon first build.Cheers,
Gary
EDIT: NuGet Command
Gary can you zip up the blank solution you created (everything EXCEPT for the
packagesfolder) and drop it somewhere for me to download to see what might have gone wrong?Hi Seb,
Sorry for the late reply. i will try the newer release and see how i get on.
Thanks for your help.
Kind Regards,
Gary Henshall
It doesn't help me. I met all requirements but am getting error on install, the main problem I think is this one:
I haven't found any solution how to overcome it.
So far I am unable to install Umbraco 8 at all.
Hi Sebastiaan,
when I created a new project and set the .NET version to 4.7.2 before creating the project, it worked!
Thanks for your help! I can finally start testing :) or let my editors test...
And maybe it is wise to extend the documentation on https://our.umbraco.com/download/ with only this trick :)
Jeffrey
@Sebastiaan: Two more questions.
1) I've installed Umbraco but not with the default configuration options (because I wanted to use SQL Server instead of SQL CE), but in that case you start your website without a starter kit.
Is there a way to install the starter kit afterwards? If I go to the "Packages"-section and search for "Starter kit" it doesn't return anything.
2) Is it possible to install Umbraco Forms to let my editors test this as well, or is this out of scope? And how about the Member-section?
Kind regards, Jeffrey
There's no v8 starter kit available at all yet. :)

For the nuget error, are you using TFVC for version control? (ie, Azure DevOps with the TFS source repository)
The install error has been fixed and an updated package was automatically released on myget a few hours ago (alpha58).
Thanks, Sebas!
One more thing. If I do a fresh install I get this "error/suggestion". Once I restart everything is okay, but maybe it's interesting for you:
I am not sure it is fixed.
I am getting similar 'InstallStatus trying to check upgrades' error during v8 instalaltion.
https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/96960-i-am-getting-stuck-on-umbraco-8-or-lower-db-configuration-during-install
Is there somewhere we can put comments on V8 for collation?
Thnx
Has anybody came across the same problem during installation of Umbraco 8 I am facing?
I am unable to install umbraco at all, I tried in many ways and every time I get the same problem.
I described my issue more here: https://our.umbraco.com/forum/using-umbraco-and-getting-started/96960-i-am-getting-stuck-on-umbraco-8-or-lower-db-configuration-during-install
The error log doesn't give any stack trace or the source of the problem.
Is it umbraco bug?
I have downloaded umbraco 8.02 zipped package instead of installing via nuget.
I have run the project and got the same error:
For this error "An error occurred in InstallStatus trying to check upgrades"
If it's a new installation remove the db info from the connection string and and enter it in during the install process prompts
is working on a reply...
