About This Guide

This document provides instructions for installing and configuring Commerce Server 2007 Developer Edition for development and evaluation. You must perform all tasks in the following order:

1. Install Microsoft Windows critical updates, all prerequisite software, and prerequisite software updates.

2. Install and configure the following Commerce Server 2007 software components:

• Commerce Server 2007 core components

• (Optional) Project Creation Wizard

Instructions for installing the following components are outside the scope of this guide:

• Commerce Server Adapters for BizTalk Server

• Commerce Server Direct Mailer

• Commerce Server Data Warehouse and Analytics System

• Commerce Server Health Monitoring Service

• Commerce Server Volume Shadow Copy Writer Service

3. Configure a single account for running Commerce Server Web applications and services.

4. Unpack one of the two site packages Commerce Server 2007 provides for evaluation and site development:

• CSharp. Contains global and site resources to initiate Web site development.

• Starter Site. Contains global and site resources and a production-ready foundation for building Commerce Server Web sites.

5. Configure security-related elements to support access to Commerce Server sites and services.

6. Verify installation of Commerce Server Web services and open Business Management applications.

7. Load Starter Site sample data. This step is only required if the Starter Site was unpacked in step 4.

[pic]Note

This guide is for single-computer installations and does not include information about how to help secure Commerce Server services in a multi-computer configuration. For instructions about how to enhance security and how to deploy Commerce Server on multiple computers, see .

Assumptions

This document assumes the following:

• You have installed Microsoft SQL Server on the same computer as Commerce Server 2007 Developer Edition.

• You are not using the development computer in a multiple computer development environment. For instructions about establishing an environment for multiple developers, see .

• No Commerce Server Web site has been developed or previously unpacked on the computer. If you have unpacked a Commerce Server 2007 site package, you must use the Custom unpack method when you unpack another or a second site package. You must select another site name and folder in which to install the site files to avoid overwriting the current site's configuration. For more information about performing a Custom unpack, see .

• You are using a single account to support all Commerce Server services.

[pic]Important

By using a single account, you simplify the post-installation process. However, you bypass the security-enhanced configuration requirements that you should use to support a production environment. We recommend that you do not use the single account configuration procedures to support a computer that is in a production environment.

• The computer where you install Commerce Server 2007 is not a domain controller. Commerce Server 2007 does not support installation on a domain controller.

Restrictions

The following items address important considerations for the computer on which you install Commerce Server 2007 Developer Edition. Before you install Commerce Server, review the following information:

• If you install Commerce Server 2007 on a computer where you have installed either Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services or Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you must configure SharePoint Services security settings so that they do not interfere with the execution of Commerce Server 2007. The correct configuration will prevent SharePoint Services from intercepting incoming requests to Internet Information Services (IIS) where the Commerce Server site is run. For more information, see .

• Do not install Commerce Server 2007 on a computer where you have installed an earlier version of Commerce Server. You must uninstall the earlier version of Commerce Server before you install Commerce Server 2007.

• You must install Commerce Server 2007 Developer Edition before you install Commerce Server 2007 Service Pack 2.

• To upgrade your Commerce Server 2007 edition, such as from Developer to Enterprise, you must first uninstall the existing Commerce Server 2007 installation, and then reinstall the edition of Commerce Server 2007 that you want.

For information about how to uninstall Commerce Server or the upgrade requirements, see .

|2007 SP2, use the Control Panel to add the Project Creation Wizard. |

|[pic]Important |

|Installation of SQL Server 2005 includes installation of Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition. However, Visual |

|Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition does not meet the Commerce Server 2007 software prerequisites for development. |

|Therefore, you cannot use some features of Commerce Server 2007, such as the Project Creation Wizard, unless you install |

|one of the stand-alone versions of Visual Studio 2005. |

|7. If you did not install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, install the required Microsoft .NET Framework. To install |

|Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 (32-bit), see . To install Microsoft .NET |

|Framework 2.0 (64-bit), see . |

|[pic]Note |

|On Windows Vista, Microsoft .NET 3.0 Framework is a Windows Vista feature that is switched on automatically when you |

|install Windows Vista. You do not have to switch Microsoft .NET 3.0 on or install it if you are using Windows Vista as |

|your operating system. Because .NET 3.0 is a superset of .NET 2.0, you also do not have to install or switch on .NET 2.0 |

|if you are using Windows Vista. |

|8. Register 2.0 as the default framework. |

|[pic]Note |

|This step is not necessary if you are using Windows Server 2008 as your operating system. |

|All Commerce Server installations require 2.0 registration. At a command prompt, move to |

|%windir%\\Framework\v2.0.50727 folder and run the following command: |

|aspnet_regiis.exe -i |

|When the command finishes successfully, the Command Prompt window displays "Finished installing ." |

|[pic]Note |

|If you are using Windows Vista, you must run the command prompt as administrator. For more information about how to run as|

|administrator in Windows Vista, see . To run the command prompt as |

|administrator, follow these steps: |

|a. Click Start and navigate to the Command Prompt window. |

|b. Right-click the Command Prompt window, and then click Run as administrator. |

|9. Install the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 hotfix update described in the Knowledge Base article 913393. To obtain this |

|hotfix, download the prerequisites cabinet (CAB) file. The name of the hotfix file that you must run is KB913393.exe. The |

|CAB file contains the following software: |

|• Dotnetfx.exe / netfx64.exe - (.NET Framework 2.0, 32/64 bit) |

|• DExplore.exe -  (Document Explorer 2005)  |

|• Fix (KB913393) |

|After you have identified the appropriate CAB file, follow these steps: |

|a. Click the appropriate link. Save the file to a location on your computer. |

|b. Unzip the CAB file by double-clicking it. |

|c. Double-click the KB913393.exe file to start the hotfix installation. |

|[pic]Note |

|If you do not install this hotfix, the Commerce Server installation program will detect this and prompt you to install the|

|hotfix that is included in the prerequisite CAB file. |

|[pic]Note |

|Windows Server 2008 has the Dotnetfx.exe and updates already applied to the operating system. You can install the |

|Document Explorer by double-clicking on the DExplore.exe file. |

Unpack Example Commerce Server Site

Commerce Server provides two site package files for evaluation and development. The CSharp package file, CSharp.pup, includes the Commerce Server 2007 resources, Web services, and application framework that you must have to initiate Web site development. The Commerce Server 2007 Starter Site package file, Starter.pup, provides all that the CSharp site provides and a production-ready foundation for building Commerce Server Web sites.

Before you unpack one of these PuP files, note the following:

• Verify that you are logged on as a member of the Administrators group.

• If you cancel the unpacking process, Commerce Server may not delete the databases that you created during the unpacking process. You must delete the databases manually by using SQL Server.

Follow these steps to unpack either the CSharp or the Starter Site package file.

Important   Only follow this step if you have not installed any other Commerce Server site to the IIS Default Web site. If you have a Commerce Server site installed already and you want to preserve its contents, perform the installation instructions that are available in the Commerce Server 2007 Starter Site Release 2 Installation Guide at .
