AMQ7077: You are not authorized to perform the requested operation while creating MQ series queues managers

When creating MQ series queue manager you get the following error:

AMQ6239: Permission denied attempting to access filesystem location '...'.
AMQ7077: You are not authorized to perform the requested operation.
exitvalue = 119

This error occurs because the local mqm group does not have access to your logs and queue folders. Grant the local group mqm full control and the issue will be fixed.

BizTalk 2013 adapter pack installation seems to hang

While installing the BizTalk 2013 adapter pack it seems to hang during the installation at the following screen.

This seems to happen only on servers that are not connected to the internet. The BizTalk installer is looking for updates. This can take a very long time. I have seen it take over an hour. Just be patient and wait. It will finish eventually.

MSVCP100.dll missing during BizTalk 2013 installation

During the installation of BizTalk 2013 the setup throws the following error:

The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) (vcredist_x86.exe) and launch the BizTalk 2013 installer again. This will fix the issue. The Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86) can be found here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

Cannot configure BizTalk 2013 BAM on a separate SQL server

During the installation of BizTalk 2013 the configuration of the BAM tools threw the following error:

I found out that this only happens if you do not have the SQL server databases on the local BizTalk server. After some research I found other people were having this issue as well. They resolved it by configuring BAM alerts at the same time. These are the steps to take:

On the BizTalk server install the following:

1) SQL Server Native Client (sqlncli.msi)
2) SQL Server 2005 Management Objects Collection (SQLServer2005_XMO.msi)
3) SQL Server 2005 Notification Services (SQLServer2005_NS.msi)

Now configure BAM Tools and BAM Alerts and the installer will not throw any errors.
