Hello Richard,

Just like you, I received a 5003 error when trying to install BizTalk 2006
Beta 2. In your case, the error was:

[20:58 Info] Error 5003.Regsvcs failed for assembly C:\Program
Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006\Microsoft.BizTalk.Adapter.SQL.dll.
Return code -2146368511.

In my case, the error was similar, but in the component
Microsoft.BizTalk.Deployment.dll. After repairing .NET Framework 2.0
(Add/Remove programs, select .NET Framework 2.0 and choose the repair
option), the error disappeared and the installation succeeded.

I debugged this error by trying the registration manually:
* I first copied the assembly from the installation folder (msi/program
files/microsoft.biztalk.deployment.dll in my case) to the assembly cache
(c:\windows\assembly) using Windows Explorer. This worked just fine. Even
deleting the assembly from c:\windows\assembly and copying again worked)
* I then tried to register the assembly via
c:\windows\microsoft\net\framework\v2.0.x\regsvcs
microsoft.biztalk.deployment.dll. This didn't work - running regservices gav
e
no output whatsoever.
* I then tried to view the command line options of regsvcs by running the
program without any command line options, with -?, with /?, with -help etc,
but no output at all was written to the screen.
* I finally tried the same on another computer: the help for regsvcs was
shown. At that time, I figured my .NET framework installation got corrupted
somehow.

I hope this helps you in your debugging efforts.

Regards, Beat Nideröst
