SUMMARY

Visual Basic 5.0 Order Processing Pipeline (OPP) components are not supported for Microsoft Commerce Server version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Therefore, it is recommended that OPP components be free threaded (marked as "both" in the registry).

The following is a list of fully supported alternatives to using OPP components:
  1. Java
  2. C++ (MFC/ATL)
  3. VBScript
  4. JScript
