Enterprise Single Sign-On Server: Unspecified error
Always fun to install BizTalk 2013 without installing Visual Studio first. There seem to be so many components in Visual Studio’s installation that make the BizTalk installation easy. But now busy with the production server I am getting the following error. Brace yourself!
Enterprise Single Sign-On Server: Unspecified error
After some digging in the instrallation log I noticed some weird text though (C:/Users/<USER>/AppData/Local):

Notice the weird characters in line 3? The line of the C++ Redistributable package? That seems rather odd. It also says it’s not a valid Win32 application.
Solution
So something seems wrong with that file, the installation ISO is corrupt! And it’s not the first time this happens for BizTalk 2013 BTW. The solution ultimately was to download our enterprise ISO from a different source and install that one. And guess what, after 2 hours of troubleshooting we got a smooth install here! 😐
You could also try to download the C++ Redistributable package and replace it in the installation ISO (or unpacked ISO). But if other files are corrupted as well that would be pretty time consuming.
