Software prerequisites

Ensure that any system on which you plan to run the WebSphere Commerce

V5.6 installation wizard meets the following minimum software requirements:

Ensure that you have one of the following Microsoft Windows operating systems installed:

Microsoft Windows 2000, Server Edition with service pack 4 (or higher)

Microsoft Windows 2000, Advanced Server Edition with service pack 4 (or higher)

Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition

Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition

Note: Microsoft Windows Server 2003 is not supported for the WebSphere Commerce development environment.

In addition to the required service pack levels, you should ensure that your system has the latest critical fixes installed.

For more information about service packs and critical fixes, refer to the

Microsoft Windows Update site:

http://www.windowsupdate.com

Ensure that the system is DNS enabled so that there is a host name and domain present. Pure IP address environments are not supported by WebSphere Commerce.

Ensure that you disable any virus scanning software active on the system. Virus scanning software often interferes with the installation by causing problems when changing CDs during the installation.

You can re-enable the virus scanning software immediately after completing the installation.
