Error opening project from Source Control - iis

I had originally bound a website in my IIS to D:\Project\ortund\ but later decided to move it to D:\web\ortund\ for reasons.
I copied the project files to the new location and changed the binding in IIS.
Now whenever I open the solution from my source control (Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere), Visual Studio gives the following error:
It's very generic so I'm not sure what the problem is here.
Has anyone seen this before or got any clue how to fix it? Restarting Visual Studio as is recommended doesn't help.

Try use File->Source Control->Change Source Control to update the source control binding info.
To move your project location on your local disk, it's recommended that you use File->Source Control->Open from Source Control and retrieve your project to the new location. This way, the binding info will be updated automatically.

Azure Functions Core tools suddenly stopped working

I was in the middle of working on some minor code changes when all of a sudden I started getting the following error on startup:
A host error has occurred during startup operation '78d5d8fd-e81c-4707-87ca-6b801430fef1'.
[2021-01-08T13:02:40.279Z] System.IO.FileSystem: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Users\schiefaw\AppData\Local\AzureFunctionsTools\Releases\3.17.0\workers'.
I looked at the path and found everything exists until I get to "workers".
I, of course, assumed it was something I did, so I backed out all changes to no effect. Then I uninstalled visual studio and all Azure products I could find and reinstalled to no effect. I created a new user (since the file it is looking for is in my user folder) to no effect.
I then created an entirely new instance of a windows virtual machine and installed the development environment to no effect (same error).
I am completely stuck on this. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try next?
Thanks!
I think this is a bug from that 3.17 release. But here is a work-around: you can add the "workers" folder (empty folder) and it should work. Another way if you have a copy of the previous version (such as 3.16.x), you can copy the content to the 3.17.0 one.

Excel TFS Add-In Crashes Connecting to TFS

We frequently use Excel to perform bulk updates of data in TFS. Up until very recently, the Team Foundation Add-In has worked very well. However, it has started failing in several ways:
It will connect to the server, but attempting to connect to any
project causes Excel to crash, producing a Watson report in the
Windows Application Event Log.
If I restart Excel, it reports that it is running into problems with
both the shim and the add-in, and offers to disable it. If I do not
disable it, I still can't connect to a project.
Eventually, the add-in refuses to load at all, until I use the
Options dialog to manually add the COM add-in back into the
application. Doing so produces the same results (Excel crashes when
attempting to load a project).
I have taken the following steps in an attempt to resolve the issue:
Removed and completely reinstalled Office.
Re-registered the add-in component.
Uninstalled and reinstalled Team Foundation Office Integration.
None of these have produced a fix to the issue.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
P.S. If this is not the correct "stack" for this question, kindly point me to the correct one on the exchange. Thank you.
If you are reading the accepted answer and it still isn't working, here's an additional tip. I had the EXACT same problem and saw that same link to clear the cache from numerous sites, bit it didn't work.
Here's the thing. I don't think that article lists ALL of the places that cache can be hiding on your machine. I deleted the cache folder in two different places on my machine and had given up on that as a solution.
Then I searched my entire hard drive for any folder with "Team Foundation" in the name and found a couple more buried in other hierarchies. Deleting these FINALLY solved the problem.
Here are some folders to look for, but like I said, check the entire drive
c:\users\yourlogin\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft shared\Team Foundation Server\
c:\users\yourlogin\AppData\Local\Temp\Microsoft\Team Foundation
The actual cache folder will be nested another level deep under a numbered folder named with something like "7.0" or "8.0" delete the cache folder from every one you find under every number.
In general cleaning the caches on your client machine will resolve such problems, including the TFS and VS caches...
To clean the caches, please see How to clear the TFS cache on client machines

Unable to get latest from TFS

I have my source code in TFS.
The issue is that when i try to get the latest files from the TFS, I am made to wait for 5 minutes for connecting to server to get. and then it says timed out! Then i will have to connect to the TFS again.
Still not able to get the code!
I had tried mapping it to a different folder but even that failed.
I am using Visual Studio 2012 Express for web.
I have already tried clearing all the local data, cache and all that kind o stuff. I even tried resetting the user data.
Also tried logging in with another account to check weather if it was an issue with my Hotmail account(it's not. because i am not able to get it even with another Id).
Nothing helped!
Issue Fixed!
Here are the steps i did to fix it.
Since clearing all files may reset all your settings on visual studio, this should be the last possible option to do.
Just did a repair on the VS 2012,
cleared everything from
C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\4.0\Cache
Clear everything from
C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio
Clear everything from
C:\Users\(Username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VSCommon
But here is another issue.
I had added a file by mistake to a different repo. I have deleted that from the server(Online). but the deleted project file is still shown in my source explorer in VS with a plus sign! How do i remove those?
if anyone have any idea, please help! Thanks a lot..!
Seems your project file still have some source control bindings. So that file can be detect as new add file in source control explorer. You need to remove source control bindings.
There is a tool to remove Source Control Bindings from Visual Studio Solutions and Projects from msdn: Remove Source Control Bindings from Visual Studio Solutions and Projects Detail steps as below:
Delete the .suo next to the .sln file, and then opened the .sln file in Notepad and deleted this entire section:
GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution
SccNumberOfProjects = 2
SccEnterpriseProvider = {xxxxx}
SccTeamFoundationServer = http://some-other-guys-tfs-server/
SccLocalPath0 = .
SccProjectUniqueName1 = xxDemo\\xxDemo.csproj
SccProjectName1 = xxDemo
SccLocalPath1 = xxDemo
EndGlobalSection
Save the .sln in Notepad and then open in Visual Studio.
More ways and more information for you reference: How can I completely remove TFS Bindings
Solution for the second question!
It was a misunderstanding of the pending Change.
I had deleted the folder from the server but the file names still appeared on the TFS source explorer on VS.
It was just because VS did recognize it as a pending change to be checked in even-though it wasn't one!
So just an undo pending changesdid the trick for me!
In TFS server have you set all privileges (access) for your account. If not then add Administrative access for your account on TFS.

Unable to change runtime environment on server in Liferay Developer Studio

In Liferay Developer Studio, I am try to set the Runtime Environment for my local server. After selecting a runtime environment from the drop down, I then try to save the change and get the following message:
The server cannot be saved for the following reasons: [Overview] Changing runtime base directories is not supported.
Is this a change I need to do manually in a configuration file, or should I going elsewhere to change the runtime environment?
It seems to be a known issue in Liferay IDE, check the issue.
You may have a clean version of the Liferay-Tomcat bundle given along with the Liferay IDE. What I recommand you is to create a new server that refers to this runtime environnement.
If you don't have a clean version of the Liferay-Tomcat bundle you can download new one from Liferay official site.
I found a way to get the existing runtime evironment changed.
I first had to go to the server properties and select "Switch Location". This moved the server properties from "[workspace metadata] to my workspace/servers/ directory.
Inside the .server file, I just had to change the runtime-id property to one of my predefined runtimes, in my case...
runtime-id="Liferay v6.2 EE (Tomcat 7)"
My Liferay server is now working as expected.

Registry permission for Visual Studio 2012

During web application creating i got below popup message:
"Visual studio does not have permissions to read the template information from the registry. this is often caused by registry permission problem."
Any one have any solution?
Please help me. i wana to see Visual Studio new features.
Thanks
this might be quite late as an answer, but I excpierienced the same problem and I found the solution on a msdn page : here is the original solution message :
I came across this issue with Visual Studio 2010 and Windows 7. I did not find this problems source as of yet but, I have found many Visual Studio users encountering it. I tried Michael's solution to this problem and it did more damage then anything else. It even went as far as to make Visual studio to boot into "Shell mode" and tell me the registration was not valid.
Using System Restore I rolled back the changes made by the subinacl tool and Michaels script (it probably was not meant for Windows 7, causing the errors in the first place) .
being a long time visual studio user and a pretty good trouble shooter, I knew the subinacl was the proper tool to correct the problem, but the script was incorrect for my perticular setup. I adjusted the script as follows: (this is a batch script)
cd /d "%programfiles% (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools"
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio* /setowner=domain\user
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio* /grant=everyone=f
/grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
pause
I tried to include the "setowner" command with the grant commands (on the same line) but it would throw errors all the time.
This script fixed MY "Requested registry access is not allowed" with Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010.
if you want to try this script: Follow Michael's instructions, but use the script provided in this post and replace the "domain\user" with the proper credentials. You may also need to change the Path of Windows Resource Kits if you installed it in a diffrnet place or are not using a 64 bit OS. Before using this script please backup your registry.
I hope that that helped!

I had this problem too. Followed the post by user2698666 without success. Stuck Process Monitor on it and found there were more registry entries causing a problem called WDExpress. Thought I'd post my fix incase anyone else has same problem:
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio* /setowner=domain\user
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudio* /grant=everyone=f /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WDExpress* /setowner=domain\user
subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WDExpress* /grant=everyone=f /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f
I had the problem with Visual Studio 13, where i wanted to add a webtest project for my newly created solution.
Tried the above trics to set ACL but it didn't work.
Finally used the Procmon.exe to locate what visual studio was doing (Include only process name devenv.exe) and look for result Access Denied. It will tell you what registry key is not accessible.
In my case it was the regkey HKCR.webtest (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.webtest) that caused the problem. Taking ownership and assigning acces to this solved my problem.
I do not know how the root cause of the problem.
The above didnt work for me as I kept being denied in regedit even though i was admin.
I found this on another site:
psexec -i -d -s c:\windows\regedit.exe
psexec is available from Microsoft here
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
This gave me full registry access. I tried to give admin owner to specific keys like above but VS 2012 express was still throwing that registry permission error. So I finally just added Administrator to the permission list of the entire HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\ directory in regedit. Then gave admins full control.
This worked. I can now create a project without that infernal error!
This issue has nothing to do with permissions in the context discussed. The issue is caused by an incorrect path to the template files in the registry due to sloppy installation program testing by Microsoft. The incorrect path throws an error when a user tries to start a new project and, true to Microsoft style, displays a generic and meaningless error message about permissions.
Here's the issue specifically. In some machines (assuming C: is the primary drive and user1 is the user's login name and version 2013) the location of the template files is C:\users\user1\my documents\visual studio 2013\projects. Unfortunately, the installation path written by the installer in the registry is C:\users\user1\documents\visual studio 2013\projects. So, it's pointing to \documents while the correct location is \my documents. To be sure, look where your visual studio 2013\projects folder is located - either documents or my documents - and change the registry key to the correct location.
For my example the key is at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\NewProjectDialog\MRUSettingsLocalProjectLocationEntries the path is located in the Value0 entry. Check it and change to make it point to exactly where your project folder is.
Lars Meldgard's use of ProcMon was a good tip and helped me. I just wanted to include a picture of what an access denied looks like in ProcMon. I had to do it one registry key at a time--this wasn't the only one. It was very cumbersome and slow, but I was able to knock them off one by one and give full rights on each one. (That part is a hassle too, because I had to take ownership, then close regedit, then go back in so I could set the permissions; you can't do it all in one fell swoop.)
