# NopCommerce (4.x) installation on Windows

The newest version of NopCommerce (4.x) requires ASP Core 2, not .NET. Because of this the application pool for the domain should be set to **No Managed Code before installation**.

To do that you will need to **configure remote IIS access to your website and manage it trough that connection**. For more details on how to configure that, please follow this [TUTORIAL](https://clientarea.mochahost.com/knowledgebase/806).

NOTE: If you are with a private server VPS/Cloud you can skip this part and proceed with opening your IIS service.

After you've made the preparations, please follow the steps below:

1. Connect to your website via the IIS Manager.

2. Click on **Application Pools**.

NOTE: One way to find out which application pool is being used is that it will have the **number "1" under the Applications section**.
