I have a product and selected "Create an account for the user when this product is purchased." Anonymous purchasing policy is set to "Anonymous only" globally and for the product.

Placing an order did not result in a user being created.

I made a code tweak that worked for me. I haven't tested it in other scenarios due to lack of time.

How exactly do I apply this patch, please?

unfortunately, I can't easily explain that in a post. Check out Drupals Patches section for an overview as well as applications you can use.

As a last resort, you can email me and I'll send you the modified module file.

What version of PHP are you using?

I am guessing that it is v5.x as this will have problems

Also I noticed that there will be a problem if you are using paypal.

Same problem here. I'm selling a generic product via anonymous checkout to PayPal and generating a new user account at sale confirmation. Unfortunately, ec_useracc.module fails to create a new account for anonymous users 'on payment completion'.

The patch works for me. Thanks jbjaaz! :)

I am on Drupal 5.11, PHP 5.1.4, ECommerce 3.5 and lo and behold, after six months struggling I found this patch. It is too late to give me any positive thoughts about e-commerce, but it works at last. Thank you Jbjaaz!

I updated to 5.x-3.x of nov 17 and now it doesnt function anymore. No user accounts are created, no mails are sent to new users either.
Have reinstalled my 'own' working version of the user account module, but apparently the error is elsewhere, it still doesnt work. Of course I ran update.php
