I’m working to get the BizTalk 2006 Beta installed to do some work on a BAM demo. I’m moving ahead with the multi-box install (I have the pre-beta 1 bits from TechEd that I did a single box install on). The setup is greatly improved, and I’ve got a few screen shots showing what I selected for the developer box install. This box has Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 (along with the Indigo beta bits, so I can muck around with the Indigo adapter and learn two birds with one stone). The best part of the setup is that it automatically detects components you don’t have installed and goes out and gets them. No more mucking around with KB links!
The items I’ve selected for install are:
- Documentation
- Administration Tools
- Developer Tools and SDK
- Additional Software
- Ent SSO Administration
- Business Rules Composer
- BAM Client
- BAM Event API (if I want to experiment instrumenting my own apps with BAM)
- Business Rules Engine(for stand alone dev against the rules engine)
I’ve also got a server with all of the goods installed, so, in a couple of hours I should know if I have this up and running or not.
