Commerce Server & IE Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa13-Nov-03 5:57 Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa 13-Nov-03 5:57  Hi, My friend tried to indtall Commercec server 2000, in his PC. The PC s/ configuration is.. Win 2000 Server with NTFS partition... IE 6 (It has VS .NET instaled it.. that gave me IE 6). The problem was, he says, he got a message saying that it needs IE 5 or higher version when the PC already has IE 6 in it. Any solution.... other than downgrading the IE 6??? I was born intelligent Education ruined me!. Re: Commerce Server & IE Roger Wright13-Nov-03 6:27 Roger Wright 13-Nov-03 6:27  It's unbelievable that MS is still doing this! I ran into it when I installed Visual Studio 97 - it refused to install unless I had IE3.2 on the machine when I had already upgraded to IE4x. The only way around it was to let VS destroy my IE installation by continuing with it's outdated install, then to reinstall the IE4 upgrade. That was a major PITA because I was still on dialup, and the download took several days to complete! One possibility I can suggest, though it did me no good then, is to search the CD and read every README file on it - there's probably dozens. One of them may have a workaround for this problem. I hope so... "Your village called - They're missing their idiot."

Re: Commerce Server & IE Roger Wright13-Nov-03 8:29 Roger Wright 13-Nov-03 8:29  As I said, this experience was with Visual Studio, not Commerce Server. But yes, the upgrade back to the current version of IE went smoothly. It was just a royal PITA that would have been totally unnecessary if MS had expended the tiniest bit of effort. I'm surprised to learn that they still don't; as bad as they are at making installations work smoothly, they do have an excellent history of fixing mistakes. This one should not have fallen through the cracks. "Your village called - They're missing their idiot."

Why is it still so hard to make software play nice? Is it that difficult to create a built in identification code with a formatting standard that makes it easy to detect that a more advanced (and presumably compatible) version has already been intalled? This doesn't sound like a rocket science problem, especially as it doesn't require consulting with every manufacturer in the world to create the standard. If your software identified itself with a value from day one, at a consistent location in the binary code, or a consistent entry in the registry, with something like [productcode].[majorrelease].[minorrelease].[revisioncode] wouldn't it be easy to detect a more advanced version and let the install continue? Why is this so hard to do? "Your village called - They're missing their idiot."

Actually the steps performed were, uninstall my IE 6 and installed IE 5.5 install Commerce Server 2000 (I dont have a answer for 'why not 2002 version??') Then ugraded to IE 6 (the PC needs IE 6 for the VS.NET requirement) And created a site using commerce server 2000 Tried to run the bizdesk It asks for IE 5.5 or later version - when the BIZ desk starts uncompressing the .CAB file (thru the activeX component) --- Still confused about it...

This is a major MS fubar. Having no experience with Commerce Server I'm afraid that I can't help you. But it is nice to know that, if anyone ever asks me to install Commerce Server, I'll be smart enough to tell them to find someone else to do it. I wish I could be more helpful, but this is sounding like another total screwup from Microsoft like Small Business Server 4.5 - I could never make that load of garbage work right despite 4 years' trying, and their tech support is a complete fiction; there is no such thing. I'd advise you to walk away from it, but I know that that's no longer an option for you. I hope someone smarter than I am will pick up this thread and show you a solution - I can't.

I mean I booted with the second windows and I need to change the registry of the first windows. Thanks for any help Fadi Re: accessing windows registry from other windows Chris F11-Nov-03 16:34 Chris F 11-Nov-03 16:34  Hi , I believe you can mount "non active" registry hives in your "active" registry then modify it then export it back to the original location . I have done this while troubleshooting a defunct os . Re: accessing windows registry from other windows Fad B12-Nov-03 1:35 Fad B 12-Nov-03 1:35  Hi Thanks for the answer, but could you please tell me how to mount "non active" registry in a "active" registry ? Thanks very much Fadi Re: accessing windows registry from other windows Matt Newman11-Nov-03 17:23 Matt Newman 11-Nov-03 17:23  I know you can do it with XP, I don't have 2k. But leaving this open is a HUGE security hole and I would definitely recommend NOT doing so. If you still want to do it check if regedit has a Connect Network Registry option under the File menu. If that appears, but does not work your going to have to go through your Local Security Policy, or Domain Security Policy if your on a Domain and allow it Matt Newman I am the anti-linux "If you're Master Chief and you're facing the Flood, grab a shotgun and save the last checkpoint" - Me, cause I was bored Re: accessing windows registry from other windows Alexander M.,14-Nov-03 22:52 Alexander M., 14-Nov-03 22:52  and again a fadi question.... of course it's possible, but u will need a registry file interpreter... if you have that much time, you can have a look at ReactOS source code!
