Hi,

I've installed the predictor demo site for commerce server 2002 and
I'm trying to use the 'Prediction Viewer Tool' from the commerce
server 2000 resource kit (as opposed to the 'Prediction Model Viewer'
that is included in commerce server 2002).

I'm unable to get this working at the moment - when I click the 'Open
Model' button I get this error - 'Unable to create
PredictorServiceAdmin object'

I'm assuming that this requires some of the commerce server 2000
components to be installed on the machine before this will work, but
I'm not sure which components I'd need to install - I don't want to do
a full commerce server 2000 install just to get this working unless
there's no other way...

Has anyone had any success making the Prediction Viewer Tool from the
commerce server 2000 resource kit work with a commerce server 2002
prediction resource? Any help or guidance would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Steve

Thanks for the advice - I tried this - according to filemon it found
all the files it wanted on start up and the only file it was accessing
when the function was invoked was exprarch.dll which it found ok too.

According to regmon it seemed to fail when trying to access the
following registry keys:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{234F4FD5-62FE-11D2-AD4D-00C04F72D6A1}\InProcSe
rver32
and
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\CLSID\{234F4FD5-62FE-11D2-AD4D-00C04F72D6A1}\InProcSe
rver32

That class doesn't have an inprocserver32 though as it's an exe so it
has a LocalServer32 key.

I'm still none the wiser unfortunately - I think I'll probably end up
writing some code to emulate the functionality of the viewer that we
wanted to use.

Thanks

Can you send me the name of the exe from the cs2000. I'll try to make it wor
k here. Also can I ask why do you want to use a
CS2000 component on a CS2002 box.
