Was this a quick install bundled with a template??

If so this happens so often because of poor "bundling"

They have assigned a vendor that doesn't exist in your Joomla ..

enable "Enable database Update tools" in the VM config
go to "Tools"->"Tools and Migration"
DB Tools tab
"Write here the new store owner id" enter 27
"Set Store Owner"

You should then be able to proceed with the shop details etc
