RESOLUTION

• Verify that Web Publishing Services is running. To do this, load the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Snap-in for Internet Information Server. Right-click Default Web Site, and then make sure that Start is disabled. If Start is not disabled, click Start to start the default Web site.
• Verify that there is a virtual directory in Internet Information Server that is named BizTalkServerRepository. Also, verify that this virtual directory maps to the BizTalkServerRepository folder in your installation folder (for example, C:\Program Files\Microsoft BizTalk Server\BizTalkServerRepository).
• Verify that the BizTalkServerRepository virtual directory has the following permissions selected:

  Read
  Write
  Directory Browsing

• Do not install a prerelease version of Microsoft Office.
• Verify that the version of MSDAIPP.dll is 8.103.2402.0. To do this, run the Regsvr32.exe tool from the command line to unregister and then reregister C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole db\MSDAIPP.dll and C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Ole db\MSDAURL.dll. The syntax for using Regsvr32.exe is: Regsvr32 [/u] [/s] <file name> where:
  • /u unregisters the file based on the <file name> argument.
  • /s registers the file in silent mode. This suppresses all messages.
  • <file name> is the complete path and file to be unregistered or registered.
  If you do not have Regsvr32.exe on your computer, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base for information about how to obtain a copy of the file:

• If you have configured BizTalk Editor or BizTalk Mapper to connect to http://servername of the IIS Server that is hosting your WebDAV repository (where servername is the NetBIOS name of the IIS Server hosting your WebDAV repository), and you are using a proxy server, verify that you have configured Internet Explorer to Bypass proxy server for local addresses. To view this setting in Internet Explorer, do the following:
  1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
  2. Click the Connections tab, and then click LAN Settings.
