Wallet Is Not Displayed Even Though Browser Supports It

ID: Q244251

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Site Server version 3.0, Commerce Edition

SYMPTOMS

Web sites with the ability to use Microsoft Wallet to make purchases, such as some of the sample sites included with Site Server, do not display the wallet, even though the browser being used supports it.

CAUSE

The Browscap.ini file, which lists the capabilities of various browsers, does not have an entry for the browser being used.

Note: Because Microsoft Wallet requires that the browscap entry indicate that the platform is a Win32 platform, "wildcard" entries for a browser version do not work.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, either manually update the Browscap.ini file, or download a recent version it.
