CAUSE

The EDI/AS2 Runtime feature in BizTalk Server uses Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS). This problem occurs if the EDI/AS2 Data Transformation Services (DTS) packages are not removed after you unconfigure the EDI/AS2 Runtime feature. Therefore, when you try to reconfigure BizTalk Server, the configuration process of the EDI/AS2 status reporting feature fails. Then, you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section.
