Hello,  all our BizTalk applications were developed and deployed using
BizTalk Server 2004.  We will be upgrading to Windows Vista 64 bit.  Would
you recommend installing BizTalk 2004 on Windows Vista 64 bit or should I go
ahead and upgrade to BizTalk Server 2006?

If you have a choice, alway go with BizTalk 2006 over BizTalk 2004!

Hi MJ,

Do you intend to build a development environment?

Due to Vista is a consumer operation system like Windows XP, we do not
support installing many enterprise edition softwares like SQL 2005 ent on
Vista. Also as I know, installing BizTalk 2004/2006 on Vista is not
supported currently.

However BizTalk server 2006 R2 is the official version of BizTalk which is
going to be supported. The CTP version of BizTalk server 2006 R2 is
released and you can donwload that and install:

http://connect.microsoft.com/Downlo....aspx?SiteID=65

Therefore if you want to build a dev machine on Vista, I'd like to suggest
you use some alternative way like setting up virtual machine. Otherwise
please consider using a server OS like Windows 2003 or Windows XP.

Please let me know if you have any concern on this.

Have a nice day.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang

Hi MJ,

Sorry for my typo. I meant BizTalk 2006 R2 is supported to be installed on
Windows Vista.

Again please don't hesitate to update here if you have any further question.

Have a great day.
