Visual Studio 2013 and BTDF 5.6

BizTalk deployment framework (BTDF) is one of the best tool for BizTalk application deployment. After unsuccessful effort to use BTDF 5.5 with Visual studio 2013, I came to know BTDF 5.5 do not support Visual Studio 2013. If you try to search BTDF on google by default it will take you to BTDF 5.5 as latest version. But you can find BTDF 5.6 version here. This blog is helpful for those who are starting using BTDF first time. or struggling with installation of  BTDF with Visual studio 2013.

Here we will try to use the BTDF 5.6 to deploy our sample application.

Step 1 BTDF Installation
1: Download the BTDF 5.6 msi (DeploymentFrameworkForBizTalkV5_6_RC.msi) file and run the setup.
2: Select the setup type


3. Select the option. I have choose all option


4. Click next and complete the installation

Step 2: Verify if installation has done correctly

1. Open Visual studio 2013
2. Select New Project
3. Check if it is providing option to choose "Deployment framework for BizTalk project"


Step 3: Run the sample application

1. Create BizTalk application which you are planning to deployed. Here I have used sample "Hello World" application available with installation at following location "C:\Program Files (x86)\Deployment Framework for BizTalk 5.6\Samples\BizTalk2009\HelloWorld"
2. Add new project in solution of your BizTalk application
3. Choose "Deployment framework for BizTalk project" option.
4. Select the application deployment option


5.Once you create BTDF project open the btdfproj file and check location path is correct


6.You can update the PortBindings.xml which is binding file of your application.

7. Go to tools and select Build server deploy msi


8. Once it is successfully build it will create msi file


Step 4: Run the msi file

1. Open the created msi file and install it





2. Once installation done, run it on BizTalk
3. Provide the running host instance domain account name
