At a certain point in time when installing BizTalk, you will need to install some extra “components”. In the BizTalk installation wizard this is referred to as a prerequisite file.
This file can be downloaded automatically from within the wizard, but most likely you have some good reasons not to do that:
- You’re installing more than 1 BizTalk server and/or environment at the same time
- You do not want to wait for downloads to finish
- Internet access is not available on BizTalk servers
- etc …
There are a bunch of reasons why a seasoned BizTalk professional/administrator needs to have a backup copy of these files available just in case you might ever need them…
Below you can find a list of all BizTalk prerequisite files I have come across and where to find any further localized versions in case you might need them.
