Deploying MVC3 to a shared host - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am trying to deploy my MVC3 app on a shared host. I've got .Net4 on the shared host and I have worked through the various bin deploy steps cited all over the internet. The problem is that I don't get an error when I try to access the site, I just get a message saying directory browsing is not allowed. I have uploaded the files but its like the server doesn't know what to do when it gets there. I would appreciate any tips anyone has to give regarding this...I need to show a demo today.
Thanks !
Edit:
So I managed to figure out that my host placed my account on a server running IIS6 and therefore cannot process extensionless urls, so I modified my routing table to append a .aspx to the controller name so that IIS can process the request. Now I get this error (which I guess has to do with EF4) when I try to access the url

It's not enough to move files to the host, you have to tell IIS your files are an application. That's the most common reason for the directory browsing error. Your hoster should have help pages on deploying ASP.NET applications.
