"Specified cast is not valid" error message when you deploy an Orchestration that was created in BizTalk Server 2004

SYMPTOMS

When you try to deploy an Orchestration that was created in Microsoft BizTalk Server 2004, you receive an error message that is similar to the following:
[Microsoft.BizTalk.Deployment.DeploymentException] Unable to deploy early bindings.
[Microsoft.BizTalk.Deployment.Binding.BindingException] Failed updating binding information.
BindingException: Specified cast is not valid.
[System.InvalidCastException] Specified cast is not valid.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because BizTalk Server 2004 requires that the COM+ Rollup QXP6 for Microsoft Windows XP or the COM+ Rollup 29 for Microsoft Windows 2000 be installed, depending on your operating system.

RESOLUTION

To avoid this behavior, install the COM+ Rollup package for your operating system and language.

The following tables list the COM+ Rollup packages that are available in the Microsoft Download Center. Click the link to download the package for your operating system and language.

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other.
