Hello,

I have an unusual problem after installing BizTalk 2004 on my Windows XP
development PC.  I followed the installation guide and installed SP1 both
without problems, but when I try to create a send port from the BizTalk
Explorer pane in VS.Net 2003 the port dialog window causes 100% CPU
utilization and does not completely display the dialog - the list on the lef
t
of the dialog window where it should say Configurations, Transport, Primary,
Secondary does not appear at all - it is simply white.  The right side of th
e
dialog does appear but I cannot change any of the values.  Clicking cancel
allows the CPU utilization to drop back to normal but obviously no port is
created.  Clicking OK causes VS.Net to lock up completely and then it can
only be killed using task manager.  I tried uninstalling biztalk and
reinstalling but this did not have any effect.  Does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Hi Justin,

If the OS is XP SP2, please check out the following known issues of
it and Biztalk 2004.

The Enterprise Single Sign-On Service and associated BizTalk Server
2004 services fail after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2)
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;841893

FIX: You receive a "Specified cast is not valid" error message in
BizTalk Server 2004 when you use a rule set in Rules Composer or you
use a rule set in an orchestration
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...KB;EN-US;875540

The RestrictRemoteClients setting enforced by SP2 may be a possible
cause.

Thanks.

WenJun,

I had already applied the RPC endpoint registry edit several days ago when I
installed.  Prior to installing this I could not complete the BizTalk
configuration wizard but the registry edit solved that problem.  I continue
to have problems with the send port dialog.

Hi Justin,

If so, you have to create a case to our product support for such kind
of hang issues without a known reason. There will be an engineer to
help you debug VS.net to turn up root cause. Each MSDN subscriber has
2 free incident accounts and if the problem is finally found out to
be a new bug, you will not need to spend the account. Below is the
phone number list to contact our support service.
