I installed Biztalk 2009 with VS 2008 and did the following and still project fails when I try to create a BT project

1.Doing a reapair to Biztalk Server will solve the issue as during Biztalk installation the registry entry will be updated to support Biztalk Projects. You can either run the Biztalk Installation -setup.exe or directly go to Control Panel->Programs and Features->Add/Remove Programs->Biztalk Server 2009 -> Repair.

2. Change the value of the following registry entry from csproj: to csproj;btproj.

The Registry key will be available at

For 32-bit versions of Visual Studio 2008:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Projects\{FAE04EC0-301F-11d3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}\PossibleProjectExtensions
For 64-bit versions of Visual Studio 2008:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\Projects\{FAE04EC0-301F-11d3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}\PossibleProjectExtensions

This is the Application log error

One or more templates do not match any installed project packages.

Should I reinstall VS 2008?

Is this a fresh Windows instance?

You've verified "Development Tools and SDK" are installed.

For clarity, this is on creating a BizTalk project or opening one?

Christiane,

Screen shot for reference,

Hi Christiane,

It is one of the known issues with BizTalk 2009.

Project creation failed because the template required to create BizTalk project is missing i.e., btproj

I had also faced this : Creating project "BizTalk project name"   and the solution is to add the template .

BoatSeller,

This is a new server. All is fresh. I am trying to create a new biztalk project in visual studio 2008. Project creation failed!

I repaired BT 09 and made the changes in the registry from  csproj to csproj;btproj.

I might off made a mistake when first time configuring visual studio. It asked in which programming language do I want it to be setup on. I chose VB. Will that be the issue? if yes, then how can I change it to another programming language?

I had to install VS 2010 in the beginning to use the VS command prompt for updating the SSO registry so that it can be installed and then I uninstalled VS 2010. 

Do you think that process has anything to do with VS 08?

What will happen if I uninstall then install VS 2008

Yes BizTalk development requires VS 2008 WITH C#.

Also: don't change the registry from csproj;btproj to csproj! It is btproj that needs to be in the registry, so make sure that it reads "csproj;btproj"

Morten la Cour

so how do I change the settings from Biztalk VB to Biztalk C# projects?

This configuration came up when I first time opened Visual studio

FYI, there is no BizTalk VB. While you can reference VB developed Assemblies and use VB in Scripting Functoids, the BizTalk Project System has a hard requirement on C#.

Here what it seem like you need to do:

1. Run Visual Studio Setup, either from Add/Remove Programs or setup.exe and choose Modify or Change (whichever it is).
2. Add Visual C#.  You may keep VB, but it's not required.  Complete the setup Wizard.
3. Apply all updates from Windows Update.
4. In Add/Remove Programs, on BizTalk Server 2009, click Change/Remove.
5. In the BizTalk setup Wizard, select Repair.  Complete the Wizard.

Earlier you mentioned you installed VS2010 to run SSO in the VS Command Prompt. You shouldn't have to do that. VS2008 also has a Command Prompt, but more importantly, you cannot have two version of any BizTalk component installed in the same machine (except BizTalk Administrator I think, never actually tried).

So, if you installed any other BizTalk 2010 components, you need to remove those first.

when you say biztalk 2010 components, Are you referring to Visual studio 2010?

No, specifically BizTalk components. You can have VS 2008 and VS 2010 side by side.

Because SSO is shipped with BizTalk Server, the implication was that some BizTalk 2010 components has been installed for use with VS 2010.

BoatSeller,

I ran the biztalk 2009 repair wizard again and checked application log. Here are the warnings:

Error in Template (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\Web\CSharp\1033\AdoNetDataServiceCSharpWebsite.zip), file (WebDataService.vstemplate).  Unknown attribute (_locID).

Invalid template element (TemplateID) value (Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.VSTemplate.ModelObjectItemVB_ASPNET)

Error in Template (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\VisualBasic\Windows Forms\1033\LoginForm.zip), wrong template type.  Template may be placed into the wrong folder. 

It is complaining about these 2 folders

 

1. Run Visual Studio Setup, either from Add/Remove Programs or setup.exe and choose Modify or Change (whichever it is).
2. Add Visual C#.  You may keep VB, but it's not required.  Complete the setup Wizard.
3. Apply all updates from Windows Update.
4. In Add/Remove Programs, on BizTalk Server 2009, click Change/Remove.
5. In the BizTalk setup Wizard, select Repair.  Complete the Wizard.
