Episerver Commerce 10.0.1.0: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" on startup

Vote:

I followed the tutorial to create an Episerver Commerce web site:

http://world.episerver.com/documentation/getting-started/commerce/2--creating-your-project/

But an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" exception occurs when I run the app and go to the admin page:

http://localhost:60244/EPiServer

Stack Trace:

I've replicated this issue on another development server. It would be great to solve this issue soon.

Try starting the front end site and login to run the migration steps to upgrade the commerce db.

Hi,  Is this the only solution to this problem? We have a couple of developers working on the same solution with Commerce 9.22 and intermittently we're all getting this error.  We're working on a shared database but nobody has updated their version of commerce to 10. /Mark
