Microsoft Merchant Server 1.0

This article was previously published under Q160748

SYMPTOMS

If you specify a message in an action that accepts messages as the argument, and that message argument does not exist under the messages key in the registry, a generic error is returned. The following is an example:

   [xform shopper.updateshopper messages=test2]
   <input type=submit>
   [/xform]

This example returns the following generic error message:

Error:
Unable to process your request. An error has occurred.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, make sure that the message argument does exist in the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MerchantServer\Messages

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Merchant Server version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
