Unable to run Biztalk 2009 Project using Visual Studio 2008
I was trying to run a BizTalk Project using Visual Studio 2008 and was getting the following error message:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
The project file 'C:\BiztalkProject.btproj' cannot be opened.
The project type is not supported by this installation.
---------------------------
OK Cancel Help
---------------------------
FINDINGS:
========
After an hour of research, I found that the error was coming since I hadn’t installed the Developer Tools and SDK while BizTalk 2009 was installed. I had installed BizTalk 2009 prior to the installation of Visual Studio 2008 and during the installation of BizTalk 2009, the Developer Tools and SDK was greyed out.
SOLUTION:
========
I ran the Biztalk setup again (modify option) and installed the Developer Tools and SDK. Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 with Service Pack 1 should be installed as a prerequisite for the installation of Developer Tools and SDK.
I hope that helps J
