| *Disclaimer: Don't mess with the registry settings of you computer*
I ran into the common "Failed to save basket as an order"-problem and read
all I could get my hands on; MS KB-articles, firewall config instructions,
questions/answers in the newsgroup. I tried everything, nothing worked... My
baskets didn't want to turn into orders!
A co-worker, sitting next to me, had everything working. So I ran the
regmon-tool from sysinternals.com. Filtered out all noise, put a breakpoint
on the SaveAsOrder-command and recorded all traffic to the registry on the
developer PC that had everything working.
Then I did the same thing on my PC... and compared the results; a hundred
calls or so. The 20-30 first calls were identical. Then I noticed a
difference in the registry key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\COM3\REGDBVersio
n
My colleague's value was set to 13 01 00 00 00 00 00 00, but mine was 93 00
00 00 00 00 00 00. I changed my setting to that of my colleague and voila;
my baskets turned into orders!
Now I need to study this a little bit further. What the value really means
and does, I don't know. How this registry setting involves other MS DTC
details, I don't know. I will look for this info and post back if I find
anything interesting. I just wanted to report what turned things around for
me.
Best,
