Creation of BizTalk projects fail after VS2008 sp1 installation

Published Thursday, September 17, 2009 2:47 PM

I do not know what it is about the words “known issue” that ticks me off. Maybe it has to do with the fact that “known” aught to be replaced by “corrected”, or maybe it is the fact that I wasted an hour searching for a solution until I figured out that I could just Google it… Maybe it is both.

Anyway, this MSDN page explains that if you have VS 2008 + BT 2009 installed and then install Service Pack 1 for Visual Studio, you cannot create a new BizTalk project…

The error you get from Visual Studio is “Creating project ‘BizTalk project name’… project creation failed.”. Note that it is displayed in the status bar. A colleague of mine totally missed and just said that “nothing” happened.

The solution is to enable btproj as an extension in Visual Studio, using RegEdit. See MSDN link for more details.

I am very new to Biztalk environment also to visual studio 2008. My installation scenario  is below...

We have windows  server 2008 R2 server where Biztalk 2009 is installed. We are going to use this setup as central server. But my question is how to set up Biztalk development environment on client machines which have VS 2008 installed ?.  We don't want to install Biztalk on each machine. please some one help in this regard.

[Howcome guys like Vivek ask these questions but never leave an address?]

[Personally I'd say that you'd have to set up BizTalk on each of the dev stations. Mabye you'd consider virtualizing and setting up a base image that everyone can copy and use.]
