PingBack from http://blog.a-foton.ru/2008/08/more-things-to-know-about-installing-sp1/

Is there a list of fixes included in the service pack available at all?

In relation to ignoring the reboot prompt, which SP1 does that apply to?  TFS or VS2008?

How long (roughly as you like), I've been running my install for nearly 4 hours, (The only indication I have it's actually running is through ProcMon)

Brian, our developers would like to upgrade to SP1 right away.  Meaning we should probably upgrade our build machines as well so we compile against the same versions as they do.

However, I think we're going to wait a few weeks before we update our TFS 2008 server to SP1 so that we can test the install on our DEV TFS instance first.

Have you heard of any issues with Developer Machines (running VS 2008 SP1) or Build Machines (running VS 2008 SP1, .NET 3.5 SP1, and Team Build SP1) against a TFS 2008 server running RTM?

After getting SP1 up and running - I went to add the infragistics Silverlight controls to the toolbox -- as soon as the openfile dialog box posts, VS2008 vanishes with two separate errors appearing in the event log....NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3053 - Fatal Execution Engine Error (6AFA0F92) (0)

こんにちは。ブログ投稿の紹介になりますが、SP1 適用時の注意点が Brian Harry のブログ（英語オリジナル） に投稿されてました。 More things to know about installing

Once SP1 for TFS is installed, in a dual-server config, what's the proper upgrade order for SQL Server?  Does the reporting server on the AT need to be upgraded first; does the database server need to go first; does it matter?

Thanks!

I wound up doing that (but with RS first since the SQL docs said it was a supported config).  

I ran into issues with the repair though with WMI exceptions.  I use three FQDN's (wss. for sharepoint/rs, tfs. for tfs and tswa. for web access).  The tfrsconfig command kept failing, so I wound up renaming it and putting a dummy do-nothing program in its place.  I also had an issue with CreateDS which I solved the same way.  After the repair finished, I restored the original commands and ran used a modified command line that was in the msi log but pointing to the correct name...

I actually skipped tfrsconfig since it's already setup right, but I did re-run CreateDS as it created a new datasource name from what was there.

Now things seem to work with the exception of TSWA.  TSWA's Reports tab shows an error that it didn't get the response it was expecting.  

Reports from the IDE work though...

Yes, that's the first thing I did.

Mac, running an SP1 build agent/server against an RTM TFS 2008 server will work correctly.  Also, a TFS SP1 server will work with an RTM build agent/server.  We tested it both ways.

Hi,

For me, VS2008 SP1 crashes and I get exactly the same errors as Rick in the event log when the WPF designer loads (i.e. when openíng a XAML file). The designer worked at first but now it crashes every time, even after reboot.

Any solution/workaround for this problem yet?

Btw, I'm running on Win 2003.

I read (somwhere, can't find it again) that if you have both the client and app tier on the same machine, you need to install the VS SP1 first and THEN the TFS SP1...

I did a 'slipstreamed' install of TFS w/ SP1 but now I need to install Team Explorer on the TFS box.

What's going to happen if I install Team Explorer on there and then VS SP1? Will it break? Is there a way to do a 'slipstreamed' install of Team Explorer w/ VS SP1?

VERY SLOW INSTALL...

The progress bar stayed at 100% for over an hour on a dual core processor system.  

This does not give us a good feeling about the quality of this product!

UPdateing my rant about the library dependencies: I've updated the connect ticket.  There are two real problems, neither is a show-stopper.

One, the rules that determine how DLLs are chosen at runtime are extremely complex and there is very poor visibilitiy into them.  Depends.exe, the best tool available as far as I can tell, has a bug and a design deficiency.  The bug is what caused me to chase down this rabbit hole in the first place.

But that's a good thing, because otherwise it would have been a while before I noticed that our build outputs showed dependencies on older versions of the libraries.  That means that our cusomters could end up running our program against the wrong libraries, creating a huge regression risk.

I'm still trying to undestand how all the moving parts interrelate but I'm moving forward again, will try once again to get an automated build going.

It's been a long strange trip.  TFS source control is a huge win.  Everything else has been a huge disappointment.

Here's one that could be a symptom of installing SP1 on the development machine while the server remains at RTM:

I'm trying to do a large merge.  I get a few hundred conflicts and spend a couple of days, between other tasks, resolving them.  All resolved now.  No intervening checkins on either branch.  But when I try to check in my thousands of pending changes I get the checkin progress dialog briefly, followed by the conflict resolution dialog.  It's list is empty and it has the "(!) All conflicts resolved but no files checked in due to initial conflicts." message across the top.

I've tried exiting and restarting the IDE, no joy.  I've merged many similar batches along this same merge path prior to installing SP1.  I'm hoping to upgrade the server soon but right now I'm full time banging my head against our build automation conundrum.

I think I'll try backing SP1 out of the machine that has the merge pending and see what happens.

I have the same problem as Rick and Guy. Where can I get the hotfix for the net runtime error? I have been trying to install VS2008 for the last two weeks.

Thanks...

Hello swn1,

sorry about problems during the merge operation.

The files resurrected during the merge are definitely confusing, it would be nice to do history on both the source and target item, to see what changes need to be propagated.  

The empty Resolve Dialog is disturbing. How did you perform checkin initially - I understand it was inside VS - was it from the Pending Changes Toolwindow, Solution Explorer or Source Control Explorer? Am I correct, that when you did checkin from command line, resolve dialog contained conflicts? It would indicate bug in code that displays Resolve dialog inside VS.

Michal -

TFS source control gets easily confused when  renames, undeletes, and other namespace operations are composed, with each other or with edits.  I've found that I sometimes have no choice but to check in a preliminary changeset to conform the target namespace to the source before attempting a merge.

A mathematician would recognize this as a broken "group" problem and provide some high-level analysis to help resolve it.  I've seen very recently some blog text from somebody on the team who understands the math -- he was talking about SCC namespaces in a way that actually made sense -- so you've got the resources in-house.

I always use the Pending Changes window to launch checkins; it was what I discovered first and it gives me the most confidence / best chance at not messing it up.  I multitask a lot and way too frequently have changes belonging to different tasks pending.

A way to partition pending changes into groups (proto-changesets) would be a great feature.

When I did the checkin from the command line it did not give me a conflict dialog at all, if I remember correctly.  But that's not reliable, I may have dismissed it.  In any case, there was console output including text in yellow that described the underlying problem and identified the two files that were involved.  With that clue I was able to work around it.

As I mentioned, that diagnostic output did not appear in the Output window within VS.

Hope this helps,

I've been having extreme problems with Team Build and I wanted to put up some yellow tape around the big open hole so nobody else fall in it:

With the build server and SCC server as VMs on the same big VM server, MSBuild and TFSBuildService crash (seemingly) randomly.  I rebuilt my build server as a stand-alone machine and all is well: the clouds parted and birds began to sing.

After more than a year of messing with it I finally have a reliable automated build system that operates on my source tree as-is.

There's a long list of other configuration and install sequence differences between the working server and all the failed incarnations but another user on the forum reported a similar finding and I tried an awful lot of permutations before giving up on the VM.  I'm fairly sure it will turn out to be the zero-latency networking exposing a race in the TFS client code common to those two programs.

A much happier camper now,

-swn

Any updates on when the fix for the checkin e-mail bug with TSWA will be available on code gallery?

Hi GuyO, hope you can see this post. The crash you mentioned after SP1 is installed still repro?

-Wenbin

I had similar issues.

I had checked in some delete files the previous day. The next day I got latest from SC. Made some changes. Tried to checkin and the deleted changes from the previous day showed up again, alsong with my new changes. With several attempts to checkin failing with the following: "All conflicts resolved but no files checked in due to initial conflicts." And no conflicts listed.

To resolve I had a co-worker checkin a changeset. I got latest on that changeset. Performed Undo operations on the deletes. Got latest again. Checked in successfully.

i got this problem when install azure sdk, but after reinstall .net framework 3.5 sp1 then it's OK
