SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to import the Booksfull.xml catalog into Microsoft Commerce Server 2000, you may receive the following error:
CAUSE
Special characters in the XML file cannot be parsed by the Microsoft XML (MSXML) 3.0 parser.
RESOLUTION
When you attempt to import the Booksfull.xml catalog, which is located in the sitelets that are included in Commerce Server 2000, Commerce Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) updates the Booksfull.xml file to remove the special characters.
If you have created your own XML catalog file, make sure that there are no special characters in the file.
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Commerce Server 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Commerce Server 2000. This problem was first corrected in Commerce Server 2000 Service Pack 1.
MORE INFORMATION
The MSXML 3.0 parser is more stringent in error checking than MSXML version 2.6 and earlier. After you update the MSXML parser to version 3.0, the Booksfull.xml file included in the retail version of Commerce Server 2000 fails to import. If the special characters are removed, the file should pass the error checking of MSXML 3.0.
