Running Merchant Server and Commerce Server on the Same Computer (163217)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Commerce Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q163217 SUMMARY
Microsoft does not recommend running Microsoft Merchant Server 1.0 and
Commerce Server 2.0 on the same computer. If you find it necessary to run
them both on the same computer, watch for the potential problems described
in the MORE INFORMATION section below.
MORE INFORMATIONMerchext.dll
In Merchant Server 1.0, this DLL is used by any custom Order Processing
Pipeline (OPP) components that you may have written. Commerce Server 2.0
has a V1 Wrapper OPP component that allows integration of Merchant
Server 1.0 components into the Commerce Server 2.0 pipeline without any
code changes. This DLL for the V1 Wrapper component is also named as
Merchext.dll. So if you have both Merchant Server and Commerce Server on
the same computer, you will end up with two different versions of
Merchext.dll, which may create problems.
Virtual Roots
Because some of the virtual root names used by Merchant Server 1.0 and
Commerce Server 2.0 are the same, an installation of Commerce Server
overwrites them. You would need to make changes manually to the virtual
roots that are overwritten.
Router
Even though Commerce Server 2.0 does not use this Internet Information
Server (IIS) filter (that Merchant Server 1.0 does use), this
configuration
has not been tested with regards to performance or unexpected interaction.
