Installing ESB Toolkit 2.2

The ESB Toolkit 2.2 installation can be started from the biztalk 2013 beta setup wizard.

The installation is a lot more straight forward and easy to follow than the previous ESBT versions.

The only issue I’ve encountered is when I tried to run the ESBConfigurationTool.exe, I get a popup window:

“Object reference not set to an instance of an object”

And then I found this post:

To get rid of this error, go to the server manager, run the “Add Roles and Features wizard” and add all the roles under Web Server (IIS)/Management Tools/IIS 6 Management Compatibility

The new configuration tool also lets you create the ESB biztalk application from the “ESB BizTalk Applications” tab.
