Software Prerequisites for BizTalk RFID Mobile

BizTalk RFID Mobile is supported by BizTalk Server 2009. Therefore, it shares the same general software prerequisites. The following list describes the software you can use to develop and deploy a BizTalk RFID Mobile scenario.

• Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008
  
  
• Visual Studio 2005 SP2 or 2008
  
  
• SQL Server 2005 SP2 or 2008
  
  
• Internet Information Services 6.0 (on Windows Server 2003) or 7.0 (On Windows Server 2008, with backwards compatibility for 6.0)
  
  
• One of the following .NET Compact Frameworks
  
  
  • .NET Compact Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2, or
    
    
  • .NET Compact Framework 3.5
    
    

    Important

    BizTalk RFID Mobile is based on .NET Compact Framework 2.0. However, a provider or a mobile application may have been written for .NET Compact Framework 3.5. To ensure that BizTalk RFID Mobile, and providers or mobile applications (built using the BizTalk RFID Mobile API) function correctly, consider the following: Keeping the .NET Framework version of BizTalk RFID Mobile constant (.NET Framework 2.0): If the mobile application has been built for .NET Compact Framework 2.0, and the provider is built for .NET Compact Framework 3.5: The BizTalk RFID Mobile environment and providers execute in the application context, and the application developer must include a configuration file that sets the execution environment to .NET Compact Framework 3.5. For more information on how to do this, refer to .NET Framework Developer's Guide (How to: Configure Runtime Version). If the mobile application and provider have both been built for .NET Compact Framework 3.5, then no additional steps are required. If the mobile application has been built for .NET Compact Framework 3.5, and the provider is built for .NET Compact Framework 2.0, then no additional steps are required.

• Microsoft Management Console (MMC) 3.0
  
  
• MSI 3.1
  
  

To run an RFID Mobile application on a mobile device, the device must be running one of the following operating systems:
