Does anyone know how I can set a "StopOnFirstError" option on the InstallShield 2011 Automation Interface? I can't seem to find the property on the ISWiProject object. i.e.
http://helpnet.installshield.com/installshield17helplib/IHelpAutoISWiProject.htm
but it does seem to be available from the command line and in the MSBuild task.
Discovered the ISWiRelease Object's BuildErrorCount property. I can use this to at least detect errors.
But it won't stop when the first error is hit and does not provide any details. For that you need to look in the logs.
For more details see

I use Team Foundation Server for Source Control and in my Visual Studio I unckeckd the Option: "Multiple Check Out".
But when I check out a file and modify it another user can still check out the same file and also modify it.
What went wrong??
If you have to look at this issue then you are probably not checking in enough. Its a workflow and not tool change that is required.
TFS only supports the single checkout model if all users are using Server Workspaces. The default changed in 2012 to Local Workspaces which does not support this.

Check out the MSDN documentation for how to change workspace modes.
after creating an application pool in IIS(8.0) using Release Management 2013 Update 4, I need to customize the predefined action.
I would like to set Load User Profile in the advanced application pool settings true instead of false. I assumed I could use -loadUserProfile as an argument in Release Management.
Apparently the arguments are not similar to the parameter names in IIS. The release was rejected and the log file showed: ERROR: loaduserprofile : Unknown Option.
Release Management is using IISConfig.exe to execute the arguments. Even knowing that, I was unable to find a list of arguments or "Options" which can be used for the IISConfig.exe.
I would be glad to know how to solve that Problem. Not only in that specific case but in general.
Find the details of the IIS tool here:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/vs/alm/release/overview
Scroll to IIS Deployment Agent.
There does not seem to be any way to change the Load User Profile. You can write your own tool to accomplish that (and share it here :))
I am running custom action that suppose to execute some function in provided dll.
this function connects to sql db and do some select with return, but i cannot see the return value.
How can i debug this function in dll, or check if it is really executed.
I've use C++ custom action DLLs, so I'm not entirely sure how a C# custom action DLL differs. However, I usually use the method Ondrej mentioned: logging to the MSI log file and/or message boxes that pause the custom action execution so I can attach to the process via Visual Studio.
Are you familiar with how that is done?
InstallShield has native SQL script handling for most of your needs. This will automatically give you a lot of logging in the MSI log file. However returning result sets is one thing it doesn't do.
The best thing to do is write your managed C# custom action using Windows Installer XML (WiX) Deployment Tools Foundation (DTF). This builds custom actions that appear as C++ custom actions to the Windows Installer and is fully compatible with InstallShield.
Inside of a DTF custom action you can use session.Log() to record useful debugging information in the Windows Installer log file. You can also attach a debugger to the custom action and step through it if you want. See the following for more information:

I have VisualStudio 2012 and I'm trying to follow the following tutorial http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh674270.aspx
But I couldn't find the option Schema Definition from the WCF pane of the Templates dialog.
Do I have to install something? What would that be? An extension, perhaps?
Thanks in advance.
You don't need to install it - it's already there. What might be catching you out is that it's only available in the "WCF Service Library" template.
Once you then add a schema file as shown:
You then get an additional option on the project properties:
I want to add my findings.
I too wanted the Contract-First tool and didn't find the setting mentioned in the msdn link.
However I found out how to add it to any project type as I wanted my iis-hosted services to use contract first aswell.
What you do is to create a "WCF Service Library" as mentioned above.
Then open the csproj-file for the project in a text editor.
Then copy paste the entries that looks something like this into the other project-file
<FlavorProperties GUID="{3D9AD99F-2412-4246-B90B-4EAA41C64699}">
<WcfProjectProperties>
<AutoStart>True</AutoStart>
</WcfProjectProperties>
</FlavorProperties>
Also you need to change the guid:s in the target project to something like this:
<ProjectTypeGuids>{3D9AD99F-2412-4246-B90B-4EAA41C64699};{349c5851-65df-11da-9384-00065b846f21};{fae04ec0-301f-11d3-bf4b-00c04f79efbc}</ProjectTypeGuids>
The FlavorProperties tag with its guids are from vs2012 update 3 so it may change in the future.
So with this hack you're able to deploy contract first services directly to the iis.
The question however is why it wasn't working like this out of the box in visual studio 2012
You don't need to add the XSD from the WCF pane, just take the XML Schema item from the Data pane.
If VS 2012 has the option "Enable XSD as type definition language" on, it will generate the types under the namespace of your solution + ".ContractTypes".
Check the output windows to see what the build process is doing with the XSDs.
During solution deployments & Feature activation, I am facing an on/off issue where the system is unable to find & load the FeatureReceiver class. Mostly it is file not found exception (even though the assembly is there in the GAC). I checked over the net and this seems it a common issue with solutions (wsp) packaging DLL to be GACed. (But, no one has any clue or solution!)
What is the recommendation and guideline to fix this issue? We are setting the flag to reset IIS in my solution definition - but that does not seem to help. The issue is more prevalent in multi-M farms.
Thanks
This is a general problem in SharePoint in cause of the "SharePoint 2010 Timer Service". Because this one caches the wsp's and during the deployment or feature activation old references will occurres this error!
So try the following link. I hope this solution will help you.
http://msscorner.de/en/2011/10/27/sharepoint-deployment-failed-to-create-receiver-object-from-assembly/
First try the solution linked to by Falco...
If that does not help, try this:
Open the event-receiver file created by sharepoint
Compare the GUID above the event-receiver-class with the one stated in the stack-trace "...class=7g3562-438dn4...
If it does not match:
Copy the content of the class
Delete the file
Create a new file by right-clicking the feature -> add new event reciever
Pass the content
First thing, you dont need to give iisreset as your wsp deployment would have already done that.
Can you check if the assembly name, version, public token specified in the feature.xml is same at the actual assembly that is deployed in gac? I am thinking there is mismatch in assembly signature
