New documentation download available

When Commerce Server 2007 SP1 shipped, the help content on MSDN was also updated. We now have a download available that you can use to update the local documentation on your Comerce Server computer. To download the updated documentation, seehttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=4be7e821-469c-4ef2-b5bd-9174f72f0d2e&displaylang=en.

Highlights of the updated content include:

  • A description of all runtime database tables.
  • Instructions for performing additional development tasks with the Orders System.
  • An overview of the Data Warehouse System architecture.
  • Information and guidance about how to develop with the Commerce Server Staging (CSS).
  • Reference information about the CSS managed APIs.
  • Examples of using the CSS unmanaged APIs.
  • Reference information about the CSS XML configuration file.
  • A CSS command syntax reference.

I'm sorry, Nazim, but we don't publish this documentation in chm format. We use a "help 2.0" format that consists of .hxs and .hxi files (and some others), because this is the format that's required to post to MSDN.

What features of a chm file are you looking for?

Cathy,

I′m trying to install the file CS2007-Help.exe and this error ocurred :

The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.

Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'CS_Server32.msi" in the below.

I dont have this file "'CS_Server32.msi" im my machine!

Tks,

Aldo

Hi, Aldo.

It sounds like you initially installed Commerce Server 2007 from a network share. In order to install any Commerce Server 2007 update, such as SP1 or a documentation update, the installer must be able to find the msi file that was used for the original installation. Apparently it's not able to find it.

To install the update, you'll need to find the location from which you originally installed Commerce Server 2007 and provide the path to that location when you get the message that you mentioned.

This updated documentation exists on MSDN, too. If you can't download the documentation update to your machine, you can still view the updated content at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms864793.aspx.

Thanks Cathy,

Worked. I was deleted the installation directory and found this file after unzip the package installation again.

Tks,

Aldo
