I recently installed BizTalk Server 2010 and EsbToolKit 2.1 and below are the summary of errors and instructions on how to overcome them.

Error:

HTTP Error 404.17 – Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

Resolution:

Be sure that .NET 4.0 is installed, then run the following:  aspnet_regiis -i  in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.21006

Error:

HTTP Error 404.2 – Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the ISAPI and CGI Restriction list settings on the Web server.

Resolution:

1. Go to Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager, click the {YouComputerName} Home (located  after the Start Page icon).

2. in the IIS Section -> Double click ISAPI and CGI Restrictions -> make sure ASP.NET is allowed.

Error:

HTTPException, Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Web.DataVisualization…

Resolution:

1. Download and install Microsoft Chart Controls for .NET 3.5

 Error:

Could not enlist send port ‘ALL.Exceptions’ in Microsoft.Practices.ESB application (BizTalk Admin Console)

Resolution:

Add new filter expression to it, Property: ErrorReport.FailureCode Operator: Exists

 

Error:

HttpException, Could not load type ‘Microsoft.Practices.ESB.Portal.Global’.  

Resolution:

In the ESB Toolkit installation manual there’s no mention of Enterprise Library but in fact you need to install it. Also, ESB Toolkit uses Enterprise Library 4.1 and not 5.0. Get the installer here. Then rerun the Management_Install.cmd.

Error:

WebException,  The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized. 

Resolution:

1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER.

2. Locate the directory that contains the Adsutil.vbs file. By default, this directory is C:\Inetpub\Adminscripts.

3. Type cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/root/NTAuthenticationProviders “Negotiate,NTLM”

 The number after w3svc is the website id, the script above assumes that the ESBPortal is your first website.

Error:

WebException,  The remote server returned an error: (404 ) not found.  

Resolution:

.svc should be register in IIS, run the following command in command prompt.

“%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\ServiceModelReg.exe” -r -y

Error:

Runtime Error, Client found response content type of  ‘text/html; charset=utf-8’, but expected ‘text/xml’

Resolution:

Problem lies with ESB.BizTalkOperationsService, by going to the web.Config of this service then setting customErrors mode to “RemoteOnly”, you can see the actual error which is: Could not load type ‘System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule’ from assembly ‘System.ServiceModel’. 

This error could occur if IIS is installed only after installing .NET 4.0. To solve this type the ff: in command prompt:

%WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis -iru

 

Error:

Management_Install.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system.

Resolution:

Open Powershell Command Prompt (Run as Administrator). Type  Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
