Hi there,

I have a problem with the default installation of CS2k2's Retail solution
site. When I open the solution, build it, and then add an item to my cart
I recieve the following exception:

Application uses a value of the wrong type for the current operation. Description:
An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.
Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where
it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Application
uses a value of the wrong type for the current operation.

Source Error:

We're using XP SP2 and CS2k2 with SP2 and FP1.
Any ideas about the cause of the exception and how to avoid it?

Cheers,

Hi Branimir,

I'd suggest you first apply service pack 3 to have a check. It
contains a updated version Retail2002.

Commerce Server 2002 Service Pack 3 (SP3)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...d=a29fe5a9-23c9
-4ae3-916b-f51d984275a4&displaylang=en

Please update here if the problem persists.
Thanks.

Best regards,

Hi Branimir,

Another thought of mine is you may check if MSDTC is enabled on this
machine(XP sp2 will disable it by default). Please look at the
following article.

Thanks.
