Creation Error Dialog Box

The Creation Error dialog box displays an error to help you determine the reason that Commerce Server could not load a pipeline component.

Try the following solutions:

  • Delete the component from the pipeline and then reinsert it.

  • Make sure that the DLL associated with the component is correctly registered.

  • If these solutions do not correct the problem, try reinstalling Commerce Server.

In many cases the error code shown with the Creation Error dialog box is a standard Windows error code. (Most Commerce Server error codes have UI strings while standard Windows errors code may be numeric only.) A typical Windows numeric code is 0x800700002. If the top 16 bits are stripped, this results in an error code of 2, which is a Windows "File not found" error. For hexadecimal error codes, convert them to decimal (hex error code 214942402 converts to 0x800700002). To display the string error message for any Windows error code, in a console window type:

net helpmsg X

where X is the error message number (such as 2).
