Biztalk Package Deployment
May 8th, 2008 by Jim Parshall
A decent tutorial on creating an MSI package in BizTalk Adminstration Console. In short, make sure ALL assemblies which are required are in the GAC and redeployed to the target GAC or bad things can happen. Also, make sure you set it to overwrite the assemblies currently there or your dependancies will fail. Biztalk does not check this in every situation and can make mistakes as well.
The Biztalk Deployment Framework
This is a heck of a tool and can really help to make the deployment process easier. Developed by Scott Colestock, it is quite the well thought of piece of engineering and has now been updated for BizTalk 2006. Woot.
