SYMPTOMS
If you unpack a site by using the Commerce Server 2002 Site Packager in
custom
unpack mode, and Remote Registry Service is not started, you receive the following
error message at the
Select IIS Computer, Web Sites and Paths step of the site packager:
Commerce Server is not installed on IIS Computer Name.
If you want to use this computer, you must install Commerce Server on it before
continuing.
CAUSE
The Commerce Server 2002 Site Packager can unpack
a site to a remote Web server. When you unpack a site by using the
custom
unpack mode, Site Packager verifies that the following registry key exists on the Web server:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Commerce
Server
If this key is in the registry, Commerce Server is installed. This
registry key is also verified when you unpack a site on the local Web server. The
Site Packager considers all Web servers to be remote when you use the
custom
unpack
mode.
