Deploy Orchestrations: "Failed to update binding information"

Yesterday, I was redeploying an orchestration through BizTalk MMC -> MyApplication -> Add -> BizTalk Assemblies... with "Overwrite all" checked, when I received this error:



The detail error said that "Receive Location 'Receive Location MQ por FILE' has no Transport type specified.". I was confused, because Receive Location 'Receive Location MQ por FILE' didn't exists, it was a Receive Location that I have deleted weeks ago.

Searching for BindingInfo inside my computer, I discovered that BizTalk stores info about the last deployments in C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\Deployment\BindingFiles (over Vista in C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\Deployment\BindingFiles).

When you do a redeployment, BizTalk uses this information. If this information is erroneous, we get this error "Failed to update binding information".

Solution is easy, remove the info binding file and we can redeploy our orchestration.

Cheers Felix! Saved me there...what a Bizarre thing for Biztalk to do. By the way, on Windows 7 machines the location Biztalk saves this binding info has changed, it will be:

C:\Users\BiztalkUser\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\Deployment

where BiztalkUser is the user Biztalk is running under...
