I have been using BizTalk 2004 RC 0 with no problems. I uninstalled it and
installed BizTalk 2004 RTM. When I go into Visual Studio .NET 2003 now, my
ODX files appear as XML documents - the Orchestration editor support in
VS.NET is missing. Schemas appear correctly. I see the "BizTalk 2004" icon
on my VS.NET splash screen, so it looks like VS.NET knows about BizTalk 2004
at some level.

Any clues? I have run a "Repair" option and have also installed the first
Rollup Hotfix package.

Try this:

Right click on the ODX file in your solution explorer and choose "open with"

If BizTalk Orchestration Designer is an option, select it and then click the
"set as default" button.
If the designer is not an option, then I think you have an install problem
and may need to reinstall.

Thanks for the suggestion, Matt. The Designer is not an option. My options
are:

* Source Code (Text) Editor (Default)
* Source Code (Text) Editor with Encoding
* HTML/XML Editor
* HTML/XML Editor with Encoding
* XML Schema Editor
* Binary Editor
* Resource Editor

I will uninstall and reinstall. Wish me luck!
