  I am also receiving this error, and cannot get around it.  Has there been a solution identified yet   I've seen several other posts, but no resolution.  I have 3 seperate domain user accounts as well, with domain\ TFSSetup being the one in use for the installation, and it is in the local administrator group (and it is not a local user).  Running on a newly installed 2003 Server installation, and SQL Server 2k5 installed successfully as well.  Here are the bottom several lines of the log file:   MSI (s) (98:40) [15:04:31:343]: Executing op: RegAddValue(Name=VsEditor,Value={00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000},) MSI (s) (98:40) [15:04:31:343]: Executing op: RegAddValue(Name=TipProvider,Value=Microsoft.Vis ...Show All

  Hi, Yesterday I gave a session in front of the Israeli Architects User Group about ADO.Net Entity Framework. The session abstract, presentation and demos can be found here . Enjoy! Guy Burstein http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/bursteg/ Nice! Maybe I will steal some of your presentation-ideas for a demo on my company ;) I saw that you could instantiate the objectContext with a connectionstring and a defaultContainer. It's hard work to get CTP:s to work, sometime I feel that I spend a lot of hours on things that wouldn't be any problem in a production version. ...Show All

• Architecture Application State in Web Farm Scenario

  I have a web farm scenario wherein I need to store data say a dataset into the application cache/state. My backend is not SQL Server. The challenge is that, I know application state is ASP.Net Worker process specific. So whenever the process gets recycled so would the data. In short Application state is not durable. Now in a Web farm or a Web garden scenario there is no way I can access the Application variable from other server because of the above behavior. Is there any way to address this requirement. Would appreciate some thoughts on the same. -Sai One option is to use SQL server to store the data (as well as session state - the are several KB articles that talk about it - here is one ). ...Show All

• .NET Development Web Service getting "Unable to connect to remote Server"

  I have a very simple windows form with a button that calls a very simple web service. The web service should just return "true". When I run within visual studio, it works correctly and I can see the .net development server running. However, if I close visual studio and try to run the application, I get "Unable to connect to remote server". I created the web service in c# using visual studio 2005 and I selected "File System" for the location option but specified C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TestConnection as the folder location.

• Visual C++ C1083 Permission denied

  Hi, I'm getting this C1083 Permission denied error when I try to build an application (console type) project A which includes files from another project B (static library type). The B project includes files from a math library C (GSL). When I build the static library B, I have no problems. The problem is when I try to build A, and it complains about having permission denied to access a folder which turns to be the folder containing the .h files of C (included by B). I hope this is clear enough, if not please tell me. I'm using XP Home Edition and files have no permissions at all.
