The Installation Process of ESB Guidance is very complicated and involves many problems. I also installed it several times before it was successful. The following are the notes for installation. During installation, refer to the ESB Guidance help document. If you have any problems, check this note.

2.DundasChartComponent running problems (This component must be installed to install the ESB Management Portal to display statistical images)

The current trust level does not allow use of the 'companyoptions' attribute.

Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. please also make sure that System. web. sessionStateModule or a custom session state module is wrongly ded in the <configuration >\< system. web> \

Solution:Set Web. Config and add the following code between <System. Web> and </System. Web>:

<! -- From Windows Support Center -->

<Trust level = "Full" originUrl = ""/>

<HttpModules>

<Add name = "Session" type = "System. Web. SessionState. SessionStateModule"/>

</HttpModules>

<! -- Enable session state for all the pages in the Web application. -->

<Pages enableSessionState = "true" enableViewState = "true"

EnableViewStateMac = "true" validateRequest = "false"/>

XsltPath. Point this setting to the folder containing the ESB Portal Alert Service (located by default within the \ % Program Files % \ Microsoft ESB Guidance Exception Notification Service 1.0-November 2007 folder ).

Enable Alert Email Service. This setting indicates if the alert service shoshould send alert e-mail messages. if you disable this option, the service will still process exceptions and store alerts in an outgoing e-mail queue table. you may prefer to use this scenario if you implement an alternative e-mail delivery service.

12.The Microsoft. bizTalk. ESB binding files are configured to work with the default BizTalkServerApplication and BizTalkServerIsolatedHost, which are in turn configured to execute in untrusted mode. if you have changed your host to run in trusted mode, the binding file will not import. to correct this, you must either change the trust level to untrusted or edit the binding file to suit your environment.
