BizTalk Server 2006 R2 SP1 Beta version number not updated


I just noticed that the BizTalk version number is not updated when you install service pack 1 (Beta) for BizTalk Server 2006 R2.

To bad as I use the version number to quickly lookup what version of BizTalk is installed on a certain (virtual)box. I mainly use the following powershell command to get the version info from the registry:

get-itemproperty -path ‘HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\BizTalk Server\3.0′ -name ProductVersion

I have published a version number overview table in the past each time a new version or SP was released:

BizTalk Server version number overview (updated for BTS2K9)
BizTalk Server version number overview (updated)
BizTalk Server version number overview

The table ‘BizTalkDBVersion’ in the BizTalk management database also holds version information for the product and the database. This table is also not affected by the SP installation.

I’m sure this will be fixed in the final version. For now my table looks like this:

Product name Service pack Version number
BizTalk Server 2004   3.0.4902.0
BizTalk Server 2004 SP1 3.0.6070.0
BizTalk Server 2004 SP2 3.0.7405.0
BizTalk Server 2006   3.5.1602.0
BizTalk Server 2006 R2   3.6.1404.0
BizTalk Server 2006 R2 SP1 (beta) 3.6.1404.0
BizTalk Server 2009 (beta1)   3.8.104.5
BizTalk Server 2009   3.8.368.0

    I checked on my BizTalk 2006 R2 SP1 server and confirmed this issue. I added a validation entry to the Connect issue.

    Good job finding this issue!
