hi @Elvis-Shi and others,

I feel like this component might need an update? I really cannot tell the correct version nummer, but https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-biztalk.BizTalk&ssr=false lists version 3.13.2.0

This page https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/service-pack-and-cumulative-update-list-for-biztalk-server-108e5e94-4558-8b57-d5fb-45984506d56f lists 3.13.785.0 as latest (CU2)

and finally the agent is currently using 3.13.765.0.

this update is of importance to me because I am maybe observing an error in my solution which was fixed with an updated version of the build tools? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69827757/biztalk-map-error-only-when-building-in-azure-devops

Hi @fabsenet! We use the following link to install BizTalk https://aka.ms/BuildComponentSetup.EN — it is a zip archive containing Bootstrap.msi and BuildComponentSetup.msi files. The latest CU2 however is an EXE file and when I tried to apply it to the VM I got the error

[fabsenet]

I was reading the issue and the pullrequest and I feel like this buildcomponent setup was created just for azure devops. Maybe handmade by @Elvis-Shi ?

I have no idea, how I can help here tbh, I only know, I want/need the latest version :-)

the cumulative update is always an update for biztalk, but the agent has only some kind of minimal installation which is obviously not detected.

@fabsenet could you file an issue for this problem? We will engage BizTalk team after that
