Nservice bus installation on Winserver 2012

Question

I am trying to install nservice bus on a fresh win server 2012 box and things are not working properly. Any help is appreciated..

I get setup failed prematurely and when I dumped into log file.. this is the error I get..

Calling custom action NServiceBus.Wix.CustomActions!NServiceBus.Wix.CustomActions.CustomActions.InstallMsmq Installing/Starting MSMQ if necessary. CustomAction InstallMsmqAction returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox) Action ended 16:36:36: InstallFinalize. Return value 3. Action 16:36:36: Rollback. Rolling back action:

Do I have to manually add MSMQ features.?

Answer 1

Yes you need to enable the MSMQ features first.

BTW, the MSI is really only to be installed on developers machines, to prepare a machine in production use the powershell cmdlets, see http://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/managing-nservicebus-using-powershell

Is your dev machine a WinServer 2012?
