• Do not include a space in the name of a Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 project
  When you create a Commerce Server project in Visual Studio .NET 2003, do not include a space in the project name. If you include a space in the project name, you cannot compile the project without errors.
• Change BDRefresh.asp to Use Full Paths
  When you use Commerce Server Business Desk to publish campaigns, catalogs, and profiles, an error may occur. This problem occurs because you use a relative redirect for the page that you are publishing. To prevent this problem, change BDRefresh.asp to use the full paths of the pages that you publish.
  
  In BDRefresh.asp, change the following lines of code:

  Response.Redirect "BDRefresh.aspx?" $ 
  Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")

  Change to:

  Response.Redirect "http://" & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_NAME") & ":" 
  & Request.ServerVariables("SERVER_PORT") & 
  replace(Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME"), "BDRefresh.asp", 
  "BDRefresh.aspx") & "?" & Request.ServerVariables("QUERY_STRING")

• Error message when you try to install Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 Developer Edition on a computer that is running Windows XP
  When you try to install Commerce Server 2002 Developer Edition on a computer that is running Windows XP, the installation does not succeed. During setup, Service Accounts are configured. After this operation, you receive the following error message:
  Error: Invalid Service Logon Information. The specified service logon "Domain\User Name" is invalid.
  Error code: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
  This problem occurs because the computer is not a part of a domain (in a peer-to-peer network). Commerce Server 2002 Setup uses Security Support Provider Interface (SSPI) to do a network-style logon by using the provided user credentials. This type of validation does not require the current user to have any special rights. Also, this type of validation works on all versions of Microsoft Windows. However, on Windows XP, the ForceGuest registry value is set to 1.
  
  To resolve this problem, set the ForceGuest registry value to 0 in the following registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa

• Two authentication prompts when you use an ISAPI filter for authentication

  A supported hotfix is now available from Microsoft to correct this problem on Windows Server 2003. If you are running Commerce Server 2002 on a computer that is running Windows Server 2003, and AuthFilter is in Windows Authentication mode, you must apply this hotfix.
