BizTalk Runtime configuration error - "Creation of Adapter FILE Configuration Store entries failed"

Question

Hi,
I am trying to install Biztalk Server 2006 R2 on a Vista Ultimate
edition machine. I completed the installation successfully, and have
configured "Enterprise SSO" and "Group" features. I am getting the
following error while configuring the BizTalk Runtime feature.
"Creation of Adapter FILE Configuration Store entries failed.
The SSO system is currently disabled."
I have already done/tried the following:
1. I tried different settings - Inprocess only, Inprocess and
isolated, each trusted, each with a regular user account and each with
an administrator user account. In all cases I get the same error.
2. I have made the changes suggested here (related to rpc
authentication changes after Windows XP SP2) but it still doesnt
change anything: http://blogs.msdn.com/scottwoo/archive/2004/05/19/135453.aspx
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

I'm having a similar installation error on an XP SP2 box and was getting the same error message (Creation of Adapter FILE Configuration Store entries failed. The SSO system is currently disabled.).  I checked and the Enterprise SSO application is not appearing in the list of services, and doing a command line "net start ENTSSO" returns an invalid service error.
So going on the theory that SSO did not install correctly and get registered as a server, I went ahead and uninstalled BizTalk/SSO, blew away BTS/SSO databases, and tried to reinstall (selected all options for install).
After BizTalk installed, I entered a local admin account and chose "Custom" installation.  Because the error message pointed at an SSO problem, I tried to apply the SSO configuration ONLY, using the default SSO Administrator/Affiliate Administrator accounts with the default admin account, but it keeps failiing at the same point in the install log when it tries to start SSO (see log below).
[10:30:51 AM Info ConfigHelper]  Creating service: ENTSSO, start type: 2, exe: "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Enterprise Single Sign-On\ENTSSO.exe", dependencies: RPCSS,COMSysApp,MSSQLSERVER, account: .\bizservice

[10:30:52 AM Info SSOServerCfg] (ssoconfigobj2.cpp:5892) The SSO service state is: The service is starting (SERVICE_START_PENDING)
[10:30:53 AM Info SSOServerCfg] (ssoconfigobj2.cpp:5892) The SSO service state is: The service is not running (SERVICE_STOPPED)
The SSO database does get created, but the SSO Administrators and SSO Affiliate Administrators local groups do not.
So my theory here is that for some reason SSO cannot start, the exception is caught and the app rolls back.
Any ideas?
