Error:
Product: Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - ENU -- The application pool identity required by Team Foundation Server (TFSWSS) for the content virtual server is not using the Team Foundation Server service account. To proceed, you must exit setup, set the application pool identity (TFSWSS) to use the Team Foundation Server service account, and then run setup again.
1. In my case the TFSWSS-pool is running as: SE\TfsService
2. SE\TfsService is a member of the "Service Accounts" group in TFS
3. SE\TfsService is local admin om the server
4. The TFS-installation is working fine
5. When the server was installed a while ago the domain was FYLKE ( now changed to SE) -> can that have anything to do with it
6. Is there any way to determine what account the setup requires the app-pool to run as
Thanks!

Can't install KB919156

I had an anomaly in my file MsiProperty.ini file which through me for a loop. For the longest time my file looked like this:
VSTF_USERID= mydomain\tfsservice
VSTF_PASSWORD=
VSTF_DOMAIN=my-tfs-server
VSTF_RS_USERID=mydomain\TFSREPORTS
VSTF_RS_PASSWORD=
VSTF_RS_DOMAIN=my-tfs-server
I had local users for TFSSERVICE and TFSREPORTS but I should not have been using them. I had domain equivalents and lots of my other services (like sqlserver) were using them. So, I changed my file to look like this, hoping it would pacify KB919156.
VSTF_USERID= mydomain\tfsservice
VSTF_PASSWORD=
VSTF_DOMAIN=mydomain
VSTF_RS_USERID=mydomain\TFSREPORTS
VSTF_RS_PASSWORD=
VSTF_RS_DOMAIN=mydomain
No dice. I still got the KB919156 error.
I then removed the mydomain\ prefix frm the userid's and KB919156 installed fine!
In my case TFSWSS mydomain\tfsservice was not equal to mydomain\mydomain\tfsservice
I might also be able to add the prefix back and remove the _DOMAIN settings by making them blank. However, things are working now and I'm not touching a thing.

PS: In case you don't know what TFSWSS is, it's the IIS application pool for sharepoint (I think). You should of course make sure it's set to use TFSSERVICE which is probably the check the KB919156 installer was making. Open up IISManager, expand a few nodes, find TFSWSS and make sure the "Identity" tab is set to use TFSSERVICE.

7. Change service account to the current service account (which also resets al the accounts for the web applications)

Ah, that did the trick. In thi .ini :
VSTF_DOMAIN=FYLKE
VSTF_RS_DOMAIN=FYLKE
-> changed that to VSTF_DOMAIN=SE, VSTF_RS_DOMAIN=SE (the new domain)
And voila it worked!

Take a look at the MSIProperty.ini file in teh TFS install directory and verify that the values for the following properties are correct:
VSTF_DOMAIN, VSTF_RS_DOMAIN, VSTF_USERID, VSTF_RS_USERID

As an FYI, this type of problem isn't limited to KB919156. The problem will occur for any servicing operation. If you changed domains, account info, etc. after installing KB919156 you would see the same errors when you install SP1 or any Hotfix. The msiproperty.ini file is generated during initial install and not updated unless you run repair or modify it by hand.
