I just installed Microsoft Enterprise Service Bus Guidance framework (November 2007 version for BizTalk 2006 R2). Although lengthy installation process is well documented in the accompanying help file I ran into multiple issues and it took a couple of days to sort everything out.I’d like to mention here majorproblems/solutions in case somebody decides to go through the same.First, if you install on other than default location (C:/%PROGRAM_FILES% and C:/Projects)make sureto update all scripts and command files as well as bindings.Second, I had issue withUDDI service configuration. It wouldn’t install until I enabled NTLM authentication for IIS.It is done by executing IIS utility scriptper this MS article. But thiscommand workedonly when I dropped quotes around Negotiate,NTLM contrary to MS KB article. Also,make sure the default web site ID is “1”. Some of my computers had it set to different numbers so I had to change command line appropriately. In the end command that worked looks like this:
cscript adsutil.vbs get w3svc/<Default Web Site ID>/root/NTAuthenticationProviders Negotiate,NTLM
Anotherproblem is that assemblies in MSI packagesare signed with different key comparing to source projects. So even if you install all ESB componentsfrom source you will run into this issue because some of the projects reference assemblies from packaged installation. Solution is to go through all project references, remove them and add new to ones generated from source code. The same applies to sample applications. Don’t install them from MSI if you chose source code based ESB installation. Open project, update references, rebuild and deploy.
