How to apply Cumulative Patch for BizTalk Server (815206)?

[crazymyxa]

Anyone knows how to apply Cumulative Patch for BizTalk Server (815206) MS03-016? I downloaded and extracted the patch for BizTalk2000 but it doesn't have any readme or other instructions.. Aside from sql script and two html file that hang upon loading, there's really no other info on how to apply it.
TIA,

Dimitri

Dimitri,

Not sure, but I believe you've got a typo. MS03-016 is KB Article 815208 (i.e. not ...06).

That might be the problem. Take a peek at 815208 (URL Below). The KB article itself has installation instructions.

Thanks to the over abundance of punctuation marks in MS URLs, this might be easier:

or the semi-direct (albeit messy) route:

Hi SenseiC!
Thanks for your reply.. Actually, I was talking about the cumulative patch, security bulletin MS03-016 and here's the direct link: <

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/?url=/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-016.asp>.

There they have downloads for both BizTalk 2000 and 2002 and the patch for 2000 is th one I'm having problems with.
If anyone figured out how to apply it, please let me know.
Thanks!

Dimitri

Nvermind.. FOund the solution, buried deep inside MS's KB.
To apply BizTalk Cumulative Patch for BizTalk 2000, use this link: <

To apply one for BizTalk 2002, use this link, provided by SenseiC: <

Hope this helps..

To clarify even further, there's no installation per se for BizTalk 2000. You will need to execute the following command in DOS from the directory where you saved the downloaded pre-packaged hotfix:
- for BT2000: bts2000-815207-en /q:a /t:C:\Program Files\Microsoft Biztalk Server\BizTalkTracking

- for BT2002: extract the hofix and run &quot;hotfixsetup /s&quot; to install

Good luck,

Dimitri
