I installed CS2002 developer edition into a Win XP professional. The install
 was a success with no errors reported. But i am not able to run or compile 
any of the Commerce projects. Is CS2002 not compatible with WinXP.?
Does it require a Win 2000 machine to register and run successfully?

You need SP3 to run Commerce Server on Windows XP. Also the setup
process is a bit more involved as you need to run the setup from SP3,
not the installer on the Commerce Server CD. I copied the following
section from the SP3 readme file:

Installing Commerce Server 2002 Developer Edition on Windows XP or
Windows 2000 Professional
Microsoft® Commerce Server Service Pack 3 (Commerce Server SP3)
includes a setup program that enables you to install Commerce 2002
Developer Edition on Windows® XP or Windows 2000 Professional.
To install Commerce Server 2002 Developer Edition on Windows XP or
Windows 2000 Professional
On the Windows XP computer, download and extract Commerce Server SP3.
Browse to the folder to which you extracted the service pack, and then
double-click SetupDevEdition.exe.
When prompted, select the product installer (.msi file) for Commerce
Server 2002 Developer Edition, and then proceed with the installation.
For Windows 2000 Professional, copy comdlg32.ocx from the
\System32\Redist\MS\System folder to <system path>:\WinNT\System.
After installing Commerce Server 2002 Developer Edition, double-click
SP3Setup.exe to apply Commerce Server SP3.
For instructions about running SP3Setup.exe, see Installing Commerce
Server Service Pack 3 on One Computer.

Hope this helps.
