PRB: BizTalk Installation Does Not Succeed Because of an Error That Occurs While Registering DLLs (318331)

SYMPTOMS

When you install BizTalk Server 2000, you may receive errors messages that are similar to the following:

Error 1904. Module C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\INTERCHANGEPROV.dll failed to register. HRESULT = -2147024770.

Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\BTSADM.dll failed to register. HRESULT = -2147024770.

After the errors occur, the BizTalk Server 2000 installation program does not complete successfully.

CAUSE

These errors can occur if the BizTalk Server installation program does not correctly register the MicrosoftBizTalkServer namespace with Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, install BizTalk Server again after you manually register the MicrosoftBizTalkServer namespace in WMI. Register the MicrosoftBizTalkServer namespace by re-compiling the BizTalk Managed Object Format (MOF) file from a command prompt:

C:\WINNT\System32\WBEM\mofcomp.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Biztalk Server\Setup\interchangeprovschema.mof"

If installation still does not complete successfully after you run this command, add the \Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\ folder to your Path System variable to ensure that WMI can find the necessary .dlls when it attempts to register them.

MORE INFORMATION

To modify your Path System variable, right-click My Computer, click Properties, and then on the Advanced tab, double-click the System Path variable to edit it.
