In the past I have published overview tables of BizTalk version numbers. I used to publish a new table whenever a new version or service pack of BizTalk server was released.
I wanted to do the same after the release of SP1 for BizTalk server 2006 R2. Unfortunately it appears that the version number is not updated after applying the service pack. I double checked with some other people but they faced the same issue.
I already reported this issue to Microsoft and blogged about it for the beta release of the SP but it seems they did not fix it for the final release. It think it is a bad thing as you cannot easily determine which version and sp level is running based on the version number.
Anyway the latest version number table looks like this:
| Product name | Service pack | Version number |
| BizTalk Server 2004 | 3.0.4902.0 | |
| BizTalk Server 2004 | SP1 | 3.0.6070.0 |
| BizTalk Server 2004 | SP2 | 3.0.7405.0 |
| BizTalk Server 2006 | 3.5.1602.0 | |
| BizTalk Server 2006 R2 | 3.6.1404.0 | |
| BizTalk Server 2006 R2 | SP1 | 3.6.1404.0 |
| BizTalk Server 2009 | 3.8.368.0 |
I will report the issue to Microsoft again. Although I double checked with some people I might be wrong here. Please let me know if you see different behavior.
In order to still be able to determine the version number in an easy way I wrote a PowerShell script. I have a post about it here.
