Release Management slow to tell TFS that a deployment was successful.
This is an example of the slowness from one of my projects:
A build is queued > MSBuild starts within ten seconds > the build is complete within 35 seconds > I see "Creating the release and waiting for deployment results" within 50 seconds from the build status page > The build deploys to the
first deployment stage, Release Management is done, there is nothing left to do
within 60 seconds > The build status page is "waiting for deployment result..." for 5-7 minutes > Build status changes to "Build succeeded".
Does anybody know why the build takes 1 minute to build and deploy, but the "Build status" page doesn't update until 5 minutes later?
I am using TFS 2013.4, RM 2013.4, and Agent-based releases. My template is "ReleaseTfvcTemplate.12.xaml"
Edit: Also, this Release Template seems to ignore "Release Target Stage". I set "Release Target Stage" to "Development Staging" (my second stage) and it still went to "Development" (my first stage). I did not have this
problem with the 11.1 template. Should I use that instead?
I am going to change the verbosity of all the logs to the highest setting and get back with you.
However, I wanted to add some additional information to the problem before I do:
We are using CI and gated check-ins.
If I set "Release Build" to False, then the build completes in 30 seconds.
If I set "Release Build" to True, then the build completes in 30 seconds. Within 60 seconds I can usually check Release Management and see that the build is past the "Deploy" stage and in the "Validation" stage. Checking the
deployment directory confirms that it has deployed. Up until recently the build summary would show that build as a success almost immediately... now it hangs for 5 minutes.
Sometimes the build summary shows a failure due to a Release Exception DESPITE seeing that the release was successfully deployed in Release Management.
This is a huge problem because we use gated check-ins. This happens whether a check-in triggers the build or it's a manually triggered.

I have tried putting in my Quicktime Pro registration number, a message came up telling me I had successfully registered and now it won't download! Help!
It doesn't say QuickTime Pro on any of my icons. They've got my money - but I don't have the product!When I click on the 'About QuickTime ' button it still tells me that I just have the ordinary Version 7.7 (1680.25).
And as I previously stated, the application will not change whether it is running as QT Player 7 or QT 7 Pro.
When I click on the File Menu, Export and many of the other features are in grey so are not accessable by me. When I do click on them, they tell me to 'Buy it now'. I have a receipt email from Apple thanking me for my payment and giving me my registration code which I duly entered along with my name into the appropriate fields on the registration page.
The only button available for me to press was another 'Buy it now' button?
The email contains both the name (with or without salutation) under which you purchased the QT Pro Key and registration key itself. Both name and key must be enterend in the the QT 7 Player application just as received in the email to unlock the Pro features. Have you actually entered this informationg in the QT 7 Player? If not, follow the "If you need to Manually enter your QuickTime 7 Pro registration code:" instructions detailing how to register QT 7 for Pro use found HERE. The process for entering the key information in the appropriate version of QT 7 is virtually the same whether you are using Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion.
I did have a box appear at one point saying 'Thank you for Registering', but clearly I HAVEN'T been registered.
It's infuriating as I need this to down load before I can get any work done.
If the "QuickTime Pro Registration" window depicted in the above intructions indicates QT Pro is registered but you still cannot access the Pro features, then you should probably contact Apple and explain the problem within 90 days of purchase as you may have a more serious problem requiring technical assistance while the purchase warranty is still in effect. -
I have a Macbook Pro and have just purchased a GSP hidden objects game. It says on the box that it is compatible and when I try and install it it tells me that installation has been successful. However, it then says that PowerPC games not supported. Help?
No game icon appears on my desktop and I don't know what I can do.
Really ****** off as i've not played these games since switching from a windows PC to a Mac and was really excited!! All I want is to be able to play my new game that arrived in the post today. If anyone can help I would be really really grateful....
The game says that it needs Mac OS X 10.3 or higher to run so I don't understand what the problem is or how I can fix it!!beckyj3,
the last version of Mac OS X which supported running PowerPC apps on Intel Macs was Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). If you’d like to play this PowerPC game on your Intel MacBook Pro, then you’ll need to install Snow Leopard on it and boot into Snow Leopard. (Note that the last MacBook Pro which natively supported Snow Leopard was the Early 2011 model.)
The game was almost certainly published before Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) was released, so back then, all versions of “Mac OS X 10.3 or higher” would have supported running that PowerPC game. -

Hi Jen. My daughter just compleated her nursing program and is now working as a full time nurse. Focus and study hard and soon you will be there too. Now to the problem at hand. I have the same problem. I gave up on it and satisfied myself with my iPod without the upgrade. Reason being I've read so many posts of people having problems after the upgrade. But I'm sure other factors are involved. Nevertheless here is the fix most say works to solve the problem: What ever virus protection you have installed on your computer, disable it. Then try to install the update. After that enable the protection. I had Kaspersky, and it does it's job well. The thinking is, the virus protection is blocking the upgrade. Hope this works. Charlie

I have transferred a load of files from my PC to my iMac using the migration assistant. The message on both machines say that the process was successful but I can not find the files on the mac. Any ideas?
When you use Migration Assitant it creates another user account and puts your files there. Please log out of your normal account and log into the new account. Had you use Setup Assistant when it asked if you were migrating that would not have occured. You have a couple of options, combine the two accounts (not recommended) or start over, use Setup Assistant and have everything in one user account. Here is a link to Pondin's guide for Lion Setup Assistant tips however if you want to combine the two accounts he has addressed that in

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.) -
I attempted to open Firefox as usual and when I clicked on the icon nothing happened. I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled. It said that the download for Firefox was successful but it still does not open. When I click on Firefox it now just says to upgrade Firefox. What should I do to get Firefox up and running again. I have a Mac and my Safari is linking me just fine to the internet so Apple says it is not a Mac problem but a Firefox problem.
I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
Do you want to switch the setting?
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
Does that help? -
I am repeatedly told to upgrade my version of Firefox.
Each time I attempt this, whether I disable my anti-virus software (AVG) or not, I get a pop-up menu telling me the download was completed but I still seem to be on the 3.0 version.You appear to have upgraded to a supported version. I will also attempt to answer your other question. [/questions/885242]

Release Management and Azure Hosted Build Agents
Good day,
I configured Release Management as follows:
http://intovsts.net/2014/11/06/connect-visual-studio-release-management-to-visual-studio-online-and-microsoft-azure/
In this material mentioned that it is for VS Online (which I don't use)... However, I can't get it to work with Hosted Build Agent in Azure. When I try to release I get error
"Exception Message: The directory name is invalid (type Win32Exception)"
What actually mean that Release Management Client is not installed on the Build Agent.
Is it so, that I can't use Release Management with Hosted Build Controller/Agent? What other options to drive test Release Management w/o full TFS installation are available?
Looking forward for your answers! Thank you in advance!Hi Voron81,
Thanks for your post.
You’re using On-premise TFS Server(TFS 2013 Update 4) rather than the VSO? If yes and you installed the RM Server, you should install the RM Client on your On-premise build agent machine.
For which software installed on hosted build server, please refer to the information in this article:
http://listofsoftwareontfshostedbuildserver.azurewebsites.net/.
If you want use your VSO account as RM Server to deploy to Azure, please refer to the solution this article:

For how to use the VSO account as RM Server, please refer to the steps in this article:

Visual Studio Online / Release Management Email Notifications
We use Visual Studio Online and not a local TFS instance. Additionally we want to / ARE using the Release Management service. But, we are having difficulties configuring the Email notifications within Release Management. We have steps
configured for email notification on step approval. BUT we are not getting any of these notifications and the Releases get stuck waiting during these steps. And only if by sheer dumb luck the user logs into his/her Release Management window
do they see that they have pending approvals...
What do we need to do in order to get these approvals flowing?
Thanks in advance!Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am currently researching to gather more information with regards to your request. I shall revert back to you with an update at the earliest. Sincerely appreciate your patience.

I have a MacBook Pro that is telling me my startup disk is full. I left for 30 days and when I came back to use it, it tells me that the disk was full out of 500 GB. I don't have that much on it and it was perfectly fine when I left. I Verified the disk through disk utility and it told me it had issues so then I repaired it and it said everything is fine. It still says the hard drive is full. How do I fix this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.

While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store.
The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
Good luck,

Release management with Azure and Visual Studio Online (Cloud TFS)
What strategy would you use to manage the releasing of versioned software to Azure cloud services (web and worker roles)? We are not looking for continuous integration. We are using Visual Studio 2013 and Visual Studio Online (Cloud TFS).
At one point, we were releasing straight from Visual Studio using the Azure Cloud Project Publish tool. This is really bad practice in my opinion as you can never be sure what you are really releasing. Additionally, there is no automated control on the labeling
or branching of code, or the running of unit tests and code analysis checks.
Next, we employed Release builds on Visual Studio Online. Before deployment, one would edit the appropriate Build Definition (whether it be for Test or Production by and filling in the code label (under the "Get Version" build property) that is to
be released. This would then get the appropriate code (by the label specified), build it, and release it to whatever cloud service is specified in the targeted Cloud Project profile (this is using the AzureContinuousDeployment.11.xaml template).
There is still a degree of manual intervention involved. Also, the fact that a version of code is built every time before it is released is not ideal (as far as I understand it would be better if it was packaged once).
Microsoft Release Management tools
look ideal for the job, but are not supported with Visual Studio Online.
Is there a better way of handling our releases?/waves hand.. These are not the tools you seek. You are looking for continuous integration.
Although CI has the word continuous in there, it does not mean "all the time, every checkin". It can easily refer only to those bits you want to release - -and the way to tell the system which bits you want released is to merge them to a Releases
branch.
If you do this, not only do you get all the joy of controlled CI, but you guarantee what you release is exactly what is controlled in your SCM - under the Releases branch, preferably tagged or otherwise noted as a particular release. That means you can also
rollback to a previous release by simply reverting to a previous release in your SCM!
Of course you don't have to let it happen automatically, you can set it up to build 'continually' and then remove the check on the SCM to see if any changes have been committed. You can replace this with the manual build button.
