New Post: Environment Settings and Different Build Relation

Hi Tom,

I was trying to deploy the BTDF app using command prompt. As suggested in the document I followed the step of installing msi, then generating settings xml and then passing it as parameters ENV_SETTINGS to msbuild however I keep getting the same /s:: Argument expects a parameter error. I also set the ENV_SETTINGS environment variable and still got the issue.

msiexec.exe /i MyBizTalkApp.msi /passive /log MyBizTalkAppInstall.log INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\MyBizTalkApp\1.0"

"C:\Program Files\MyBizTalkApp\1.0\Deployment\Framework\DeployTools\EnvironmentSettingsExporter.exe" "C:\Program Files\MyBizTalkApp\1.0\Deployment\EnvironmentSettings\SettingsFileGenerator.xml" "C:\Program Files\MyBizTalkApp\1.0\Deployment\EnvironmentSettings"

"%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe" /p:DeployBizTalkMgmtDB=true;Configuration=Server;SkipUndeploy=true /target:Deploy /l:FileLogger,Microsoft.Build.Engine;logfile="C:\Program Files\MyBizTalkApp\1.0\DeployResults\DeployResults.txt" "C:\Program Files\MyBizTalkApp\1.0\Deployment\MyBizTalkApp.btdfproj"

I completed all above steps and still failing with issue.
I have 5.0 RTW release of BTDF. My machine environment is Win7 64 bit, Visual Studio 2010, BizTalk Server 2010

Can you suggest something what could be the problem. I have set the settings path correctly in session environment variable as well.

One thing I noticed, is even though I am setting up ENV_SETTINGS env variable, BTDF proj is still generating settings file again, which does not seem right
