Commerce Server Installer

Commerce Server has three installers, all of which have a silent installation mode to be used in automated deployments:

  • The all-in-one component installer, which installs components such as Commerce Server Core, Desktop Business Tools, and the BizTalk Adapters. This installer is intended for development and production environments.

  • The Desktop Business Tools installer, which is intended for desktop machines used by business users, merchandisers, and CSRs.

  • The BizTalk installer, which is intended for installation on BizTalk servers.

The all-in-one installer will also install Commerce Server Staging (CSS), which is installed as a Windows Service. When CSS is installed, it is not enabled, and uses Network Service as the running account. To configure and enable CSS, run the Commerce Server Configuration wizard.

Before you begin the installation, make sure that the computer you are installing on meets the basic installation requirements for Commerce Server. For more information, go to Deployment requirements.

To install Commerce Server, make sure that the current user is an Administrator on the computer, double-click on the installer, named CommerceServer-11.4.*.exe, click the Install button, and then accept the license agreement.

Once the installation is completed, the Configuration Wizard will launch automatically. You can configure Commerce Server now, or click Cancel and configure it at a later time.

You can also install Commerce Server silently by passing the following parameters to the executable on the command line: -silent [CSCONFIGXML=CSConfig.xml] [NOCSCONFIG] [NOSTAGING].

  • CSCONFIGXML is an optional parameter that points to an xml file which will be passed to the Configuration Wizard to be automatically run after installation.

  • NOSTAGING is an optional parameter that stops the install of the Commerce Server Staging components.

  • NOCSCONFIG is an optional parameter that will stop Commerce Server Configuration Wizard from being run after the installer has finished.

  1. Double-click the CommerceServer-11.4.*.exe file to start the installation wizard.

  2. Click Install.
