Everyone loves automated processes.
With BizTalk 2013 if you want to provide a repeatable install; you need automation. PowerShell is where it’s at.

I got chatting to a friend and a perl coder about this, and got some ideas. He showed me about the perl debugger using the -d switch. Awesome. I finally got my perl script working. Installing the DBI package on OpenBSD was a snap with pkg_add (pkg_add -v p5-DBD-Pg-1.
