BizTalk Schema generator in Visual Studio -- How to enable 'Well-Formed XML'?

Question

I have installed Visual Studio 2010 and BizTalk. I create a new BizTalk-project in Visual Studio 2010. I choose 'Add new item' and then 'New generated schema'. Here I can choose 'Document type'. I choose 'Well-Formed XML (Not loaded)' and choose an input file.

Now I get the message

'XFW to XSD schema generation module is not installed. Execute 'C:\Program files (X86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010\SDK\Utilities\Schema Generator\InstallWFX.vbs to install the WFX to XSD schema generation module.

I try to execute that file and some text hastily appear on the console. I restart Visual Studio 2010, but it still doesn't work. Apparently the execution of the shell script didn't work. I try to restart the computer, but it still doesn't work.

Could anyone tell me what to do?

Answer 1

Hi Myfriend please follow below process to resolve your query

1. Go to
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 R2\SDK\Utilities\Schema Generator

2. Select the following files:

   • Microsoft.BizTalk.DTDToXSDGenerator.dll
   • Microsoft.BizTalk.WFXToXSDGenerator.dll

3. Copy them to
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 R2\Developer Tools\Schema Editor Extensions

Answer 2

Restart Visual Studio after executing the scripts.

Answer 3

If the script still does not seem to work, there are two dll files at the 'C:\Program files (X86)\Microsoft Biztalk Server 2010\SDK\Utilities\Schema Generator\' directory:

• Microsoft.BizTalk.WFXToXSDGenerator.dll
• Microsoft.BizTalk.DTDToXSDGenerator.dll

Close visual studio, manually copy dll files to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft BizTalk Server 2010\Developer Tools\Schema Editor Extensions' folder and start visual studio again.

Answer 4

Try starting a console command prompt (run as administrator) and execute the script. If things go wrong, you will actually see the error message then.
