End To End Build Automation With Team Build
I’ve uploaded my End To End Build Automation With Team Build presentation to SlideShare. I originally presented this at VSTS Tech Brekkie and Queensland VSTS Users Group.
What’s New in MSBuild 3.5 and Team Build 2008
In June I presented at the Sydney .NET Users Group, Canberra VSTS User Group and the Queensland VSTS Users Group on What’s New in MSBuild 3.5 and Team Build 2008. The slides from this presentation are now available on SlideShare.
Resolving errors creating a Strong Name Key
When creating a strong-name key in the “Signing” properties tab of Visual Studio 2005 (aka VS2005 or Whidbey) you may receive a “The operation could not be completed” error message, alternatively using the “sn.exe -k” command-line utility you may receive a “Failed to generate a strong name key pair — Access is denied.” error message.
These errors are usually caused by insufficient permissions to the “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys” folder, and will most likely arise when running as a non-administrator user.
To resolve this, you can run the cacls.exe tool as an administrator to grant the required permissions:
cacls.exe “%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys” /E /G username:F
