Hi,
I have installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional (MSDN Premium) - English, SQL Server 2005 Dev edition - English and during the installation of BizTalk 2006 Server Dev edition - English I cannot check the checkbox to install "Development Tools and SDK" because it is disabled. I am using Windows 2003 Server.
I will be grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for not having replied correctly the first time.
Yes, I chose full installation option of VS 2005. However I am still examining other necessary prerequisites. For example, I downloaded BtsRedistW2k3EN32.cab file that contained prerequisites and selected the proper installation of prerequisites option but it seams that ADOMD.NET 9.0 wasn't still installed.
I have found some information on the net that VS and BizTalk have to be the same language versions (which is the case I have) otherwise you are getting the same effect of greyed checkbox.
Any other suggestions

Hi,
Are you doing custom installation or default installation If you have visual studio installaed in your machine, and install the Default installation, it will automatically install the development tools and sdk.
Can you repair the VS 2005 installation and restart the machine, then try BizTalk installation (default installation)
Thanks,

Hi Tomas,
I have installed only english versions taken from "Visual Studio 2005 Professional + MSDN Premium" package.

Hi Kumar,
I have uninstalled BizTalk and repaired Visual Studio 2005. I tried to proceed with the default installation of BizTalk but after License Agreement page the install takes me directly to Component Installation page where I have the same problem as previously: I cannot select Developer Tools and SDK.

Hello,
I have the same problems with my system:
- vista business
- vs2005 with the vista extensions (.NET framework is 2.0.50727)
any hints

You can see this as you create new project and cannot choose the C# template. Yes I think I know how to circumvene it. The problem is that different products try to integrate with Visual Studio 2005, .NET framework itself among them.
So, if any of such products has been already installed it might have already created Visual Studio directory in your default %ProgramFiles% and possibly created a few registry entries. This happened in my case and I later installed Visual Studio on different drive and had all these problems because BizTalk couldn't detect VS properly. In order to resolve it I had to uninstall VS and unfortunately install it on C: and then BizTalk suddenly was able to detect VS and exposed the setup option Development Tools and SDK.
I think that you can try and install VS somewhere else than C: and then still be able to have all the options available if you reset the %ProgramFiles% system variable to some different value as soon as possible, preferably right just after the fresh install of Windows. It won't be easy with the new Windows since it installs .NET framework. Maybe there is an opportunity then to set the %ProgramFiles% system variable during the installation process.
Hope that is going to ease your pain a little
