  1. I will repeat it again, because it seems some people aren't reading through this thread (it is pretty long, but that's no excuse), so they don't see how many people are commenting that the newer versions are missing some files and/or instructions. I believe I used version 1.5 when I installed. While it's not quick or easy, I was able to get it to work without too many stumbling blocks...

     

    So try an older version! You don't always need the latest and greatest. Many of the newer versions add functionality that isn't necessarily needed or is geared towards different countries, etc. Start with something that works and then you can make changes individually, as you need them...

     

    OK. Well...I just checked all of the available versions on the osCommerce website (including Beta) and the Instructions 10-14 do not exist in any of the packages. Some of the earlier packages include instructions 1-10 with Additional Notes. So, I'm with the above poster who asked what "IMPORTANT: If you choose to install these files be sure to complete installation steps 10 - 14 before using." refers to in the install.txt file that is contained in all packages after 1.1. Also, in that same file is included this line under ---INSTALLATION--- "You have just to compare the files which are based on a version MS2. It is indicated to interior the modifications carried out for the files of origin with the MS2." Which further confuses the matter to me.

     

    Basically, I can read and understand instructions 1-10 included in version 1.1. But, I have reservations about following those instructions while applying the latest updated files (ie someone posted the instruction 10-14 comment for a reason). Reasons for not going with version 1.1 and following instructions seem to be all the fixes and updates and changes that have been made to accomodate real world difficulties. So, I don't feel entirely ignorant or foolish to ask this question once again with all due respect to your above stated opinion. Just basically, where are instructions 10-14, and what additional changes are necessitated to accomodate an osCommerce 2.2-MS2 build, if any, in light of the ""You have just to compare the files which are based on a version MS2. It is indicated to interior the modifications carried out for the files of origin with the MS2." comment under installation?
