Cannot find the SB Windows Azure Pack in WebPI

Question

Hi there,

I would like to install SB 1.1 on a dev machine running Windows 7 Professional, but I can't find it in WebPI 4.6.

Thanks
Thomas

Answer 1

From this page http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn469335.aspx it is available only for Windows Server.

Answer 2

Using WebPI you can install Service Bus 1.1 (on Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 7 SP1). In WebPI you can find "Windows Azure Pack : Service Bus 1.1".

It isn't the full Windows Azure Pack for Windows Server.

Answer 3

Hi Paolo,

Thanks for your answer. I could find and install the pack on my Windows 8.1 dev machine, but for some reason, it doesn't appear in WebPI on an other machine running Windows 7 SP1. I even tried the installer found here ("contextual installation link") but then WebPI says that it couldn't find the product.

Answer 4

Windows Axure Pack is available for developers on Windows 8/8.1 and for production on Windows Server.

Windows 7 SP 1 supportsonly Service Bus 1.1

Answer 5

It's precisely Service Bus 1.1 that I would like to install on the Windows 7 SP 1 machine.
Should/can it be installed without WebPI?

Answer 6

AFAIK only Service Bus 1.0 is available outside of WebPI at this link

You can install Service Bus 1.1 only using WebPI.

Answer 7

Hi Paolo,

Sorry to keep turning around, but considering that SB 1.1 cannot be found in WebPI on a Windows 7 machine, does this mean that SB 1.1 is only available for Windows Server and Windows 8/8.1, and not for Windows 7?

Thanks

Answer 8

I think that your Windows 7 isn't updated with SP1.

WebPI filters products based on your O.S. version.

Answer 9

I double-checked and SP1 is installed on the machine.

Answer 10

Do you have SQL Server installed...at least SQL Server Express ?
It is used by Service Bus to storage messages.

---

Paolo Patierno

Answer 11

Yep, I've already installed SQL Express with WebPI on that machine.

Answer 12

Do you have the last version of WebPI ? What is your O.S. language ?

---

Paolo Patierno

Answer 13

Yep, WebPI v4.6 and Windows is in English.

Answer 14

Your Windows 7 edition is 32 or 64 bit ?

At this link it seems that only x64 is supported :

Answer 15

I tested it...

I have a PC with Windows 7 SP1 x64 and using WebPI I can see Windows Azure Pack : Service Bus 1.1.

I have another PC with Windows SP1 32 bit and using WebPI I CAN'T see Windows Azure Pack : Service Bus 1.1.

I think that the last reason to your problem is that your Windows 7 SP1 is 32 bit version. Is it right ?
