How-to: Get BizTalk Services in Visual Studio 2012

For this one we can’t use the new portal, so we use the “old” portal http://manage.windowsazure.com

We select the “BizTalk Services” in the menu on the left

Now we can see the BizTalk Service we created in How-to: Create a BizTalk Service on Windows Azure



Just click on the “newbiztalkservice” line.
Then we get the following screen.

The first thing we need to do is downloading the BizTalk Services SDK. Under the “Get the tools” you see a link to download the SDK.
Please click on that one or use the following link BizTalk Services SDK.

Select all the items you need. The most important one is the “WindowsAzureBizTalkServicesSetup-x64.exe”. But it’s up to you which one you download.

We will install the “WindowsAzureBizTalkServicesSetup-x64.exe”. When you click on the exe you get an WinZip Self-Extractor, choose the folder and click on the “Unzip” button.

When it’s unzipped, he will start the wizard.


Just read the License Agreement, select the checkbox and click the “Next” button.

We only will install the SDK, so the default settings are ok.

Just click the “Next” button, then we get the following screen.

Click on the “Install” button and the installation will start.

After a couple minutes you should see the following screen.

Just click on the “Finish” button. The SDK has been installed.

When we now open Visual studio, starting a new Project….
BizTalk Service is available.

Have fun with creating your BizTalk Services!
