Host Instance

       I have recently downloaded the trail version BizTalk 2006 and evaluating the product to see if it can meet the  needs of my organization.  So far I think it's a great tool and certainly can reduce developer time in many areas. 

      When I deploy an application I get the following error:

      Warning 1 If any of the assemblies were previously loaded by a Host Instance, it may be necessary to restart the Host Instance for changes to take effect.
       
      I did go into the Biztalk administration console and restarted the host instance but the error continues to come up.  I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can assist me on this.

      Thanks,

       Dave

      Dave –

      It is more of a warning than an error.  I think if it detects that you have made changes in Visual Studio, it prompts this reminder.

      Maybe you should close Visual Studio and then restart the host instance and see if this warning persists.

        Thanks for your repsonse.

        I did shut down Visual Studio, even did the extreme and did the "Microsoft Fix" and did a reboot.  When all that did not work I built a new simple BizTalk app and still the warning was there.  With that warning I cannot successfully deploy my app. 

        I do appreciate your feedback, and will keep digging or see what other responses I may get.

          If this is the only Warning/Error you are receiving, it should build and deploy.  Since you just downloaded it, I'll ask…

          • Is this the first time you're trying to deploy?
          • Did you create a strong name key?
          • Are you deploying from the solution or the project?
          • Is this installed on XP or Windows 2003 Server?
          • Is SQL Server running?
          • …in other words have you checked-off the installation and configuration list?

            Thanks BizTron,

            To answer your questions:

            I have deployed other apps successfully

            Is a different keyname required for every app?  Or can you use the same one for multiple apps?

            I'm deploying from a project withing VS 2005

            This is being run under XP Pro

            Yes SQL Server 2005 is running on my local machine

            I have configured it as per the instructions I recieved

              No, a different key is not required for each, but a key is still required to deploy your app.  Under <your project>, Properties…Common Properties…Assembly…Assembly Key File, you should have a reference to a valid strong name key file.

              Next point is pretty serious.  Marty Wasznicky told me to NEVER deploy from the project; always deploy from the solution…since this is what the BizTalk Appplication is keyed to.  A quick solution to this may be to remove the Application from the BizTalk admin console and then deploy it directly from the Solution.

              Last point.  I'd suggest building and running this on Windows 2003 Server, or a Virtual machine (Virtual PC, Virtual Server, or VM Ware) running Windows 2003 Server.  Its a pretty common starting point for most developers however, I'd like to hear from anyone who recommends XP and who's had great success running BizTalk 2006 on XP.  I've stayed away from it since I've had bad luck myself and hear about nothing but pain from other's who've tried.
