Using Commerce Server Installation Wizard
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
The Commerce Server Installation Wizard performs the following actions:
Scans the computer for necessary hotfixes and other operating system update dependencies.
Presents a report of any missing dependencies, and provides the user with the option to install the dependencies from the CAB file included with the product, or to download an updated set of dependencies from the Internet or intranet.
Checks for required components, displays a list of missing components, and presents the user with the option to complete the installation and automatically install the missing components, or to exit and manually install the missing components.
Verifies that earlier versions of Commerce Server software do not exist on the computer. You must uninstall earlier versions of Commerce Server before you can install Commerce Server 2007.
Installs core and optional components and Commerce Server run-time objects to the Commerce Server 2007 installation directory. If core components are already installed, the Program Maintenance page displays options for adding, removing, or repairing one or more components.
Installs common assemblies into the following location: <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Enterprise Servers\Commerce Server.
Provides an option to start the Commerce Server Configuration Wizard upon successful completion of the installation process.
