Setup fails when MS DTC is not configured as a cluster resource
This article was previously published under Q296313
When you set up a Microsoft SQL Server cluster per the Commerce Server and SQL Server Enterprise Edition documentation, and then attempt to install Commerce Server, setup fails with the following error:
Error 1904: pipeline.dll failed to register (several other errors ensue)
We only support running Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) on cluster nodes as a clustered resource. We do not recommend or support running MS DTC in stand-alone mode on a cluster. If you use MS DTC as a non-clustered resource on a Commerce Server cluster, transactions may be orphaned, causing data corruption if a cluster failover occurs.
The SQL Server Enterprise Edition documentation specifies that Comclust.exe (which configures DTC as a cluster resource) must be run prior to setup and after you make other specific changes on the system. (For further detail, see "Comclust.exe" in the SQL Server online documentation).
Run Comclust.exe before you run Setup.exe for Commerce Server.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Commerce Server.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Commerce Server 2000 Standard Edition
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
