Hi,
According toInstallation Guide and Documentation Commerce Server 2007 works on WinXP. I tried to install Developer Edition and CSarpSite, but it failed. I followed the instructions and I didn't receive any error messages. But some components are allways missing. Have you ever installed CS2007 on WinXP successfully?
Thanks for your help!
It took me several attempts to get this working due to the service accounts I was attempting to use but yes, I am running CS2007 developer edition on WinXP SP2. I finally got everything working by using local service accounts rather than domain service accounts.

I have similar problem. Jeff, what is your system architecture?
I tried the following: full installation of cs2007 including csharpsite, startersite in a win2k3 server, then trying to build up a development environment on a windows xp sp2. I started to install Project Creation Wizard of CS2007DEV installation package, it was successful. Then unpack the csharpsite with the pup packager and select the last option, 'Add web server to an existing application in an existing site', but i'm not sure it was the best way to achive my goal. The csharpsite appeared on my local IIS, but it still not working. It has got error: 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.'
I'm confused and I'm not sure how to resolve this problem. Which components generate this error?
Take a look at this and see if it helps http://blogs.msdn.com/maxakbar/pages/windows-xp-and-commerce-server-2007.aspx.
Good luck,

Hi there,
I didn't try to install the same on XP for simple reason is commerce server requires an operating system server to run all the components and more over XP doesn't have all the advanced features like 2003 server.

I now completely agree with Max on NOT using WinXP to develop your CS2007 applications. (I can almost hear him saying "I told you so"). I just wiped and reloaded my main development notebook and tried several times to get CS2007 up and running correctly but without much luck. I did have this working before so it's more than a little frustrating.
However, my VPCs (Win2K3 SP1 guest) which contain all my CS2007/BTS2006 code work just fine and run very fast on an external firewire HD (another tip from Max). And given that I'll probably move to Vista soon, most of my development work will need to run in a VPC environment anyway.

You will be much better off running CS on Win2003. It performs pretty well on my laptop using a Win2003 VPC under the host Windows XP OS.
When we created a larger installation with an AD domain controller VPC and a separate CS/MOSS/SQL VPC it now taxes my laptop memory and processor. I'm finding annoying problems like cut/paste not functioning on the host OS when both of the VPCs are running.
Hi there.
Some components are not available on CS2007 Developer edition when installed on XP. For example, the DataWarehouse & Commerce Server Staging are explicitly not supported on this environment. This is outlined in the product documentation in the section, "Commerce 2007 Editions". Hopefully that explains the "Missing Components" you mentioned.
For any other issues or problems, as others have mentioned there are a few hoops you must jump through to get the supported features working.
As you've found, the installation guide outlines a few of them
And Max Akbar's blog hopefully covers the rest.
Hope this helps!
I'm new to VPC. What would be an advantage of using VPC. I've started to install WS 2003 VPC on top of XP but stopped to get this answered. How would I develop using VS 2005 on XP onto VPC running on the same machine.
Or is the idea to have VPC running WS2003 Std or E R2 and within that OS to run CS2007, VS2005 and SQL Server? If this is the case not only I have to install VPC with WS2003 but also VS2005, CS 2007 and SQL Server 2005. Besides this would run in an emulator mode which I consider VPC as such.
The other route I've tried was to change all connection strings to use sql server authentication but still get infamous 'Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection'.
We have Commerce Server 2007 running on a Windows Server 2003 Box and are attempting to setup a Windows XP development station but can not get pass this error.
Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.Server Error in '/StarterSite' Application.
