Problem Running Commerce Server Manager SP1 under Vista

I've installed CS2007 and SP1 under Vista without any issues with the business user applications and development environment but when I open the Commerce Server Manager application and try to edit a Profile definition it errors out with an Internet Explorer Script Error

Internet Explorer Script Error

Line: 15

Char: 1

Error: Object Expected

Code: 0

URL:http://dev1/widgets/profilebldrHTC/ProfileEdit.htm

This error looks familiar but I can't seem to find out what's causing it

Hi Jeff,

Have your IIS security settings been mucked with? This can occur when ActiveX and/or Scripting is disabled. Medium security level should let everything run.

Hope this helps,

Since the MMC uses htcs there must be some kind of permission issue. Can you launch the MMC with administrator account and see what happens.

I would test his but my laptop crashed and my usb drive that 4 years worth of work died a horrible death .

David,

No IIS 7.0 (Vista) hasn't been touched but the .NET Trust Level is grayed out (read only) on the Widgets virtual directory and shows Full(Internal).

Any ideas?

Max,

Unlike the BizTalk Server Admin Console, the Commerce Server Admin Console does not show "Run as Administrator" when I right-click on the shortcut.

Jeff,

What if you run mmc.exe as administrator and manually open the Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server 2007\Commerce Server Manager.msc snapin?

Hold down the shift key while right clicking and you should see the run as command.

Apparently Max typoed shiFt which on the forum was replaced by the *** above but in the alert that was emailed, came in all it's full glory Smile

I found what was causing the issue and as usual I didn't read the Installation Guide carefully enough.

If you are using Windows Vista and you have unpacked the Starter Site, you must open the applicationHost.config file in the C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config directory and add allowDoubleEscaping="true" to the <requestFiltering> node. The resulting entry will look like this:

<requestFiltering allowDoubleEscaping="true">

Not reading the fine manual always gets you , but good job finding it.
