Background
In the BizTalk installation documentation it outlines the fact that you need WinSCP. Michael Stephenson wrote a great article that goes into the how and why. He also included a simple script to automatically install the right version.
UPDATE: This script now automatically detects BizTalk Server 2020, BizTalk Server 2016 Cumulative Update 5 and the older versions of BizTalk Server 2016 before Cumulative Update 5 and downloads and installs the correct version. Thanks to Nicolas Blatter, a good friend, fellow former VTS and integration export who pointed out the change in behavior.
UPDATE: This script was re-written to handle BizTalk Server 2020, but also Cumulative Update 7 which changed the WinSCP Version. This was a significant rewrite to more properly handle environments that have Feature Pack 1, 2 and 3 and the latest cumulative updates.
Solution
As I love to script, I wanted to build something that was a little more robust and flexible. Here is the extended script which tries to figure out as much as possible automatically and gives error messages that might help you track down the problem.
