Frequently Asked Questions about the SDK


What is the required order of installation of the various pieces?
Follow the steps above to install the required pieces.
During installation of the SDK, I get a "Network error occurred while reading the file...." What gives?
You've previously installed an older version of the BizTalk Services SDK. Uninstall the old SDK and then try again to install the current version of the SDK.
When using the relay binding with a service, why do I get this exception from the ServiceHost constructor: "Could not find a base address that matches scheme net.relay for the endpoint with binding RelayBinding. Registered base address schemes are [sb]."
You've previously installed an older version of the BizTalk Services SDK. Check in \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\ machine.config under <system.serviceModel> for any entries with net.relay. This tag will likely be towards the bottom of the file. If net.relay is present, then an older SDK is installed. Backup your machine.config, uninstall the SDK, remove the <system.serviceModel> section from machine.config, download and install the current SDK from labs.biztalk.net.

The BizTalk Services SDK and the BizTalk Labs Services are currently available at CTP (Community Technology Preview) status. Microsoft offers this CTP as an early release of technology, to explore ideas and solicit feedback that will help shape a final release. The BizTalk Labs capability is not currently intended for high-availability production applications but rather to allow for measured experimentation. The BizTalk Labs team appreciates any feedback you have on these technologies.
