Fresh install, getting Validation of viewstate MAC

Do you have any suggestions on what I check to fix this? I'm using IIS8.5, SQL Express 2017, Windows Server 2016. I can get to the login page but get this error after logging in from the server. If I login from another pc, I can get a into the settings. I installed this into C:\mojoportal, i'm not using inetpub\wwwroot

some other strange occurances, not sure if they are related

there are no graphics being displayed, for example the administration page just has text, no icons like the demo site

the zip I downloaded did not have an App_Data, so I manually created it and added the permissions, is it possible I am missing other folders?

Server Error in '/' Application.

Re: Fresh install, getting Validation of viewstate MAC
