Visual Studio 2010 & BizTalk Dev. Environment

  • Article

I’ve recently tried to use Visual Studio 2010 for a BizTalk engagement and guess what.. there is no “BizTalk Project” template in 2010 version of VS.

I haven’t managed to find such a template and after searching for a couple of hours i found many posts saying that this is not possible.

Well, i said to myself, lets use the previous version (VS 2008 SP1) already installed in the hyper-v machine. But then i run into the following error when starting the Enterprise Single Sign On service

Error: …… To fix the problem, reinstall SSO or try 'regasm SSOSQL.dll' from a Visual Studio command prompt.
Error Code: 0x80131700

well the error description proposes a solution so i tried to regasm the SSOSQL.DLL, (make sure that you are using the correct version of regasm in my case this was under C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727). That did the trick.

For some strange reason the SSOSQL.dll is being unregistered during VS 2010 installation….

Generally speaking BizTalk and VS 2010 are not working together (at least not yet).
