Biztalk 2006 Beta 1 Install

I have successfully installed the Beta 1 of Biztalk 2006 on the Beta 2 SQL 2005 April release. The install went smoothly; here are the steps I followed (all this was done in a VPC image):

1. Install Windows 2003 with SP1 (you can also install W2k3 and then run the SP1 patch on it).
2. Install all critical updates.
3. Added the Application Server role to the server (make sure to remove Frontpage 2002 extensions since WSS will not run with those installed)
4. Install SQL Server 2000 Client Tools only (this is per the install instructions, comments state it is a beta 1 issue only).
5. Fully installed of SQL 2005 April CTP.
6. Installed Office 2003 (Word, Excel, InfoPath -- added .NET programmability on all components and under Office Tools, .NET 2.0 support).
7. Update Office 2003 with latest updates at http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/
8. Installed Visual Studio .NET 2.0 Beta 2, uncheck SQL 2005 Express
9. Installed WSS with the SP1 found at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=47398.
10. Installed SP2 of WSS that should be downloaded as well (from the beta place).
11. Downloaded the Biztalk CAB file for any requirements I may have missed (found at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=45440)
12. Install Biztalk following install instructions -- no errors.
13. Ran the configuration utility, set it to run on the Admin account (yeah, not smart) -- Sharepoint configuration error came up because .NET 2.0 was not installed on the default website.
14. Run aspnet_regiis -i from the command prompt in .NET 2.0.
15. Reran the configuration for just the Sharepoint part -- it worked.
16. I still need to configure BAM, but it appears it will be fine -- just need to put in the account in 3 places and it will be set up as well.

Very straight-forward install, just follow the instructions that accompany the document and it should go without a hitch.
