BizTalk Server Configuration failing to create gro

Question

I'm trying to configure a BizTalk server in BizTalk Server 2013 R2. I'm using Windows 10 and a local DB. I can create the Enterprise SSO and the Business Rule Engine but not the BizTalk Server Group and the BizTalk Runtime.

It gives me the following error:

Failed to read "Software\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\3.0\Administration" from the registry. The network path was not found.

I've tried everything I could imagine, any ideas as why I can't create the group?

EDIT: After trying everything I could imagine, the problem was in the name of my machine that was too big. Because of that, BizTalk could not write in the registry.

Answer 1

After trying everything I've searched on the web, I finally managed to solved the problem. Because my machine name was too long (15 characters), BizTalk could not edit the registry. After changing it to 4 characters long, I solved the problem and I was able configure the server.

Answer 2

BizTalk Server 2013 R2 is not supported on Windows 10.

You can look this up in the official BizTalk Server documentation, which you can find here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj248697.aspx

Supported for BizTalk Server 2013 R2 are: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 SP1.

Windows 10 is not supported.
