PS: I just cannot stop wondering .... are these kind of problems frequent with using MediaChase products? I feel that this is dramatic: I'm not able at least to install and run for the 1st time this product!? At least any Windows OS runs fine for the 1st time....

You need to switch your website to use classic pipeline mode under Vista. Go to the IIS Manager->advanced settings and under Application Pool pick Classic .NET AppPool.

Hope this helps,
Sasha.

Thanks for the support!

The AppPool was set on "Classical.NET". It doesn't work neither for both application pool types.

Why is the CommerceManager application working and the PublicStore not?

Setup file (setup.exe) went fine: the DB seems to be ok, the IIS web site was created, along with the 2 web applications: PublicStore & CommerceManager. The CommerceManager app is running fine.

What's with the MetaDataContext error?

We are sorry you are experiencing this installation problem. I can assure you that the ECF has been successfully installed by hundreds of our customers and the Installation Wizard sets up everything, but most of them ran it on Windows XP. We are aware that the Vista installation is a bit of a workaround, but people have successfully run the ECF on Vista.

I noticed that you ran the setup.exe Wizard for the installation. For Vista, you must perform a manual installation - go to http://docs.mediachase.com/doku.php?id=ecf:41:setup:installation
and look for the section that is entitled Option 2: Advanced Manual Setup of Full ECF Baseline.

Your IIS is probably okay if you followed the Vista IIS Setup instructions (http://docs.mediachase.com/doku.php?id=ecf:41:tutorials:vista). So the problem is related to configuration (permissions or database scripts not be running properly.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi,

I've performed the manual installation and the result is the same: the PublicStore application is not working.
I find this situation incredible: I'm unable to get some real support for a commercial solution, that I'm supposed to pay for.
Judging from the features of the administration application, it seems that your e-commerce solution is really good, but that's really unfortunate that I cannot show a demo app to my boss.

I still don't have a straight answer from you: what is the source of this error? What shall I do to make it work (obviously your team haven't done this)? How are you prepared for Win 2008 server?

As you said, the cause may be a configuration issue, but what shall I do to make it work? How is this web solution coded? No log message, no custom error page, no anything.

Why does the installation kit does not contain the "web services" application ?

You are saying that your e-commerce solution is an alternative to Microsoft Commerce Server ... is it?!

My time is limited, and instead of creating a nice demo for my boss, I'm wasting a lot of time to make this solution run.

Hello,

Our Vista documentation has been updated. http://docs.mediachase.com/doku.php?id=ecf:41:tutorials:vista

Please review the Installation guide and check for any configurations that may have been skipped.

Please also let us know if the document is unclear in certain areas.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

Hello and thank you for your support.

Meanwhile I've installed the solution on a win2003 IIS6 environment, and so far seems to work fine.

Hi topala,

Which language version of windows do you use?

I had the same error. I'm using Hungarian language edition of Vista. I spent much time investigating the problem, almost give up, then i switched the language for non unicode programs to english. Reboot and tadaaam :) It works fine now. The only problem is, that i got another program, that needs this setting to be hungarian. :S So something in the background not really Unicode anyway.

Another problem i had, when the install program tries to run sql scripts, it stuck. The couse is, in hungarian Vista, the string 'network service' is translated. The eager-beaver translators at MS... The Win_Vista.slq should be modified.

I hope, these problems will be handled soon, at least in G5
