Hi there,
we are running the setupbuild on our TFS-Server for automated build via commandline.
I dont know what happens every day at arount 12:30 o'clock, but the WindowsEventLog shows up one entry as an error every day:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallAware\InstallAware 9 R2\Plug-Ins\DIFx\Localized\ia64\DPInst.exe". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls,language="*",processorArchitecture="ia64",publicKeyToken="6595b64144ccf1df",type="win32",version="6.0.0.0" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
Its not our buildprocess that causes the error because we have automated it and do not run it at a certain time each day.
What exactly is wrong with this? All setups that we have created until now seem to be ok.
But we like to keep the windows error log free of errors
Thanks in advice,
Martin

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
Martin,
Are you able to reproduce this error without using the TFS server?

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
Hi,
we've got the same issue, and this is not on a TFS server.
For additional info, this a virtual server (on VMWare ESXi 5)
OS : windows 2008 R2
IA : 9 R2
Thanks,
AH-NP

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
May it have something to do with the runtimes that are installed there?
What is DPInst.exe good for? And how can i prevent it to cause windows error entries?

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
Martin,
DPInst.exe is in charge of installing drivers. Where are you seeing this executable name?

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
hi giaviv,
its exactly like in my first post. The entry appears in the windows error log every day 12:30 o'clock.
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallAware\InstallAware 9 R2\Plug-Ins\DIFx\Localized\ia64\DPInst.exe".

Martin,
Does this error not reproduce when you don't use TFS?

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
In my opinion not...
Like I said it only appears on our TFS-Server.
I have installed the demoversion lokaly and on another VM for the Designer the full version.
None of them are producing this error in the event log.
What can I do to prevent this error to appear in eventlog?
Thanks
Martin

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
Do you support Windows 2008 R2 Server?
TFS is not using IA directly. We only call a powershell-script to start the automated build from there.
The most neccessary question for me is:
If there is no way to prevent this message to appear, is this error effecting any of my builds on that machine?
Thanks

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
Martin,
We do support 2008 R2. You said yourself that this error is not reproducible without the TFS, hence the TFS is what is causing the trouble.
If the build succeeds and so do the setups, it is most likely that there is nothing wrong with your builds.

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
Hmm i thought its a regular problem.
Even because AH-NP said that they have the same issues but not on a TFS server.
Hmm so there is no other way than to live with the errorlogs every day.
Thanks anyway
Martin

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
Martin,
As I said, since this problem only happens to you in the presence of TFS, that is where the issue lies..

Re: Windows Eventlog Error on TFS Server
Ok then,
last questions on this:
May this error affect our setups created on the TFS?
What kind of drivers?
Thanks
