Disabled checkbox "Development Tools and SDK" during installation of BizTalk Server 20

Hi,

I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional (MSDN Premium) - English, SQL Server 2005 Dev edition - English and during the installation of BizTalk 2006 Server Dev edition - English I cannot check the checkbox to install "Development Tools and SDK" because it is disabled. I am using Windows 2003 Server.

I will be grateful for any suggestions.

Artur,

DId you install Visual Studio 2005 completely? Maybe a missing component can cause that (for example, I believe you'll see this if you don't install Visual C#).

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for not having replied correctly the first time.

Yes, I chose full installation option of VS 2005. However I am still examining other necessary prerequisites. For example, I downloaded BtsRedistW2k3EN32.cab file that contained prerequisites and selected the proper installation of prerequisites option but it seams that ADOMD.NET 9.0 wasn't still installed.

I have found some information on the net that VS and BizTalk have to be the same language versions (which is the case I have) otherwise you are getting the same effect of greyed checkbox.

Any other suggestions?

Artur,
I don't think prerequisites would be the problem. You mention languange versions; do they match, by any chance, the OS version? I'm not sure if this might make a difference, but you never know.

Hi,

Are you doing custom installation or default installation? If you have visual studio installaed in your machine, and install the Default installation, it will automatically install the development tools and sdk.

Can you repair the VS 2005 installation and restart the machine, then try BizTalk installation (default installation)?

Thanks,

Hi Tomas,

I have installed only english versions taken from "Visual Studio 2005 Professional + MSDN Premium" package.

Hi Kumar,

I have uninstalled BizTalk and repaired Visual Studio 2005. I tried to proceed with the default installation of BizTalk but after License Agreement page the install takes me directly to Component Installation page where I have the same problem as previously: I cannot select Developer Tools and SDK.
