BP 5.1 for 64-Bit–Errors

In this post, I’d highlight a series of errors you’d receive while installing Business portal 5.1 on a 64-bit machine. Just to give a quick background, BP 5.0 works with 32-bit editions while BP 5.1 was supposed to work for 64-bit environments. This release happened in the mid of 2010. However, the installation itself has a series of bugs which forced Microsoft to pull back the file download link from Customer source.

I tried installing the same on my 64-bit machine as soon as it was released and experienced the following errors. The only update that we have currently is that the development team is engaged on fixing the issues on installation and no date has been specified yet for this updated release.

While installing the same, We see the following errors and when we hit close, we get the message saying the installation is ended prematurely. (I’d guess the correct message that it should give is that the developers have released the version prematurely –Smile)

This error more likely seems to be the result of permissions issue.


It is suggested to wait for the fix before installing it on your production environments. Atleast the Development team was proactive enough to pull it out before it affects many installations.
