BizTalk Enterprise Single Sign-On Server installation error

Question

I am having some trouble installing BizTalk Server 2010 on my machine. Downloaded the installer from MSDN but run into the issue of:

Showing MessageBox with text: The following platform components failed to install and will need to be manually installed before setup can proceed: Enterprise Single Sign-On Server: Unspecified error Check the log for details. Return Code: 1 === Logging stopped: 09:55:15 17 April 2013 ===

Searching the web hasn't really helped and instead caused a lot of confusion. I have accepted all the defaults when attempting to install but then it complains about needing to install the Enterprise Single Sign-On server manually?

I am using Windows 7.

Anyone else experienced this issue?

Thanks in advance, Onam.

Answer 1

While installing BizTalk 2016, I encountered this error when I installed only the x86 version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 and didn't install x64 version on a 64 bit machine .

Once I installed x64 version as well, the error didn't appear and the installation succeeded.

The error/note that appears in the setup/install wizard when the Enterprise SSO feature is selected, is misleading as it only asks to install the x86 version.

However the install guide that lists pre-requisites for the BizTalk, does mention that both x86 and x64 versions of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (or 2013 in case fo BizTalk 2016) Redistributable Package, should be installed.
