Troubleshooting Installation of Team Foundation

  • Artikel

This topic provides information useful in isolating the cause of a problem that can occur when you install Visual Studio Team System Team Foundation Server and its prerequisites, and provides solutions for resolving these problems. The most common reasons for an installation of Team Foundation Server to fail are:

  • One or more procedures were skipped during the installation of a prerequisite component.

  • Not all components from a previous installation were completely removed.

  • Changes were made to one or more prerequisite components to increase secure connections, but these changes interfere with the successful installation of Team Foundation Server.

Each of the following sections describes a symptom and explains how to solve the underlying problem. If these sections do not help resolve the problem and resume the installation, you can uninstall Team Foundation Server, and try to install it again. For more information, see "How to: Uninstall Team Foundation Server" in this document on the Microsoft Web site: Team Foundation Installation Guide for Visual Studio Team System 2008.

Installation Log Files

By default, the log files are located in the following directory on the computer where you installed Team Foundation Server. The two types of log files that are useful for troubleshooting purposes are described in the following table:

Log file

Description

Drive:\Documents and Settings\SetupAccount\Local Settings\Temp\dd_install_vstf_at_90.txt

Cumulative log for the installation of the application tier.

Drive:\Documents and Settings\SetupAccount\Local Settings\Temp\dd_install_vstf_tfc_90.txt

Cumulative log for the installation of Team Explorer.

Drive:\Documents and Settings\SetupAccount\Local Settings\Temp\VSMsiLogRandomFourDigitNumber.txt

In the preceding path, RandomFourDigitNumber represents an actual random number in the file name.

Verbose text file for the installation of a Team Foundation component. A new log file is created each time the setup wizard reaches the progress bar page.

NoteNote:
If the installation fails or you cancel the installation prior to the setup wizard reaching the progress bar page, then no log file is generated.

Because the dd_*.txt files are cumulative, look towards the end of the file for information that pertains to the current setup. Also, search for the text string ERRORLOG EVENT, but be aware that not all instances of these entries may indicate the cause of an installation problem.

Check the time stamp on the VSMSI*.txt log file, to make sure that you are looking at the most recent setup attempt. In this file, start at the end and scroll up. Also, perform a search for any error messages that were written to the setup wizard.

Troubleshooting the Installation of Team Foundation Server

The following symptoms match the problems that most frequently occur during installation of Team Foundation Server. The symptoms are listed from most frequent to least frequent. These errors appear in the installation wizard for Team Foundation Server. To isolate the cause of the error, open the VSMsiLog file, search for the error number, and analyze the command and parameters that are logged as part of the error. For information about viewing the log files, see Installation Log Files. 

Error 32000

When installing Team Foundation Server or upgrading to Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Foundation Server, the following error appears in the installation wizard:

Error 32000. The Commandline ‘[1]’ returned non-zero value: [2]

This error appears when a failure occurs that the setup process does not explicitly capture. Review the VSMsiLog file to help pinpoint the cause of the error. Search for the text "Return value 3" and review the command and parameters that were logged just prior to this text. To gain more insight into the cause of the failure, open a command prompt and run the same command and parameters.

Troubleshooting the Installation of Team Foundation Build

When installing Team Foundation Build, the following error may appear in the installation log file:

ca_addlogonserviceprivilege_x86_enu.3643236f_1603

The cause and solution for this error is described below:

Problem

Solution

The Domain Controller for the domain in which the server is a member is not available and Team Foundation Build is being installed by using Network Service as the service account.

  1. Make sure that the domain controller is running and that the network connection from the server where you are installing Team Foundation Build is working.

  2. Check the user account being used to install Team Foundation Build.

    NoteNote:
    If you do not want to install under the Network Service account you can install Team Foundation Build using a domain user account.

  3. Retry installing Team Foundation Build..

Troubleshooting the Installation of Team Foundation Explorer

Team Explorer is a separate product that you install from the Team Foundation Server installation media. It is accessible from the Team Foundation Server Setup page.

The most common failure that may occur when installing Team Explorer is when it is installed on a computer on which Visual Studio is not installed. If both Visual Studio and Team Explorer are installed on the same machine, installing Visual Studio first will reduce the likelihood that a Team Explorer installation will fail.

Note

These failures occur when installing Team Explorer because if Visual Studio is not already installed, Team Explorer installs a light version of Visual Studio, called Preferred Partner Edition (PPE). Rebooting resolves most of the problems associated with the Team Explorer installation because under some systems the computer must be reset in order to use PPE.

Problem

Solution

Team Explorer is not accessible.

  1. Reboot the computer.

  2. Reinstall Team Explorer.

Team Explorer is both a standalone client, in the absence of Visual Studio Team System 2008, and also an integrated part of Visual Studio. If you install Visual Studio and then install Team Explorer, Team Explorer will be available through Visual Studio. If you install Team Explorer but do not install Visual Studio, you can use Team Explorer only from Visual Studio PPE. You can also uninstall either Visual Studio or Team Explorer without incurring any problems.

Troubleshooting Post-Installation of Team Foundation Server

Common problems that occur when creating a team project, accessing documents and reports from Team Explorer, or not being able to access Web site are addressed below.
