Hi,

i decided to remove Visual Studio UI from the Grid Node Server and only used to Visual Studio Build Tools (easier to update, much less in size und download), because also the Docs are
stating that a Grid Node Setup should be more or less the same as a build server.

But this does not work. I tried repairing the NCrunch installation, uninstalling it and install it again. Nothing helps, NCrunch does not find MSBuild 15.0

You can find the Build Tools under https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ ->
Tools for Visual Studio 2017 -> Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017

Direkt Link: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/thank-you-downloading-visual-studio/?sku=BuildTools&rel=15


Best Regards

Albert

Often this can be caused by configuration differences between your client machine and the grid node, in which case the installed SDK directories may be different between machines. If you are experiencing consistent problems when building this project on the grid node, the missing files listed above are worth investigating as they may highlight SDKs required on the grid node that have not yet been installed. Please note that this is not necessarily an error case as projects very often build successfully on grid nodes with only a subset of the client machine's installed SDKs.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this issue.

I'm fairly certain this used to work, though it was conditional on the build tools representing themselves as a type of VS installation. It's quite possible that something has changed in the way they install themselves that's now broken this. We'll take a look and will let you know as soon as we know what's going on.

There is something broken on my system and i don't know what.

It worked fine before my vacation with 15.8.previewXYZ Enterprise on the Grid Node and on my Laptop. So now the history what i did.

Within the Vacations (didn't code something only updated systems) i had to change my MSDN Enterprise Subscription to Professional and 15.8 final was out.

So i removed the Previews von the Grid Node and my Laptop, i installed VS2017 Pro (15.8.0) on my Laptop and the Build Tools (15.8.0) in the Grid Node (NCrunch 3.18.2). Did not do some tests.

Vacations over.

Updated everything to 15.8.2. Started Coding, then the error occurred. I reinstalled NCrunch 3.18.2 on the Grid Node (set the Logon User).

Installed VS 2017 Pro 15.8.2 on the Grid node. No missing warnings in the Error Message anymore. I installed 3.19.3 from the forum (Laptop and GridNode). Same Error.

Restarted sometimes, installed 3.19.3 sometimes. Same Error.

Now i removed the VS 2017 Build Tools, same error.

Now i'm stucked.

.NET Core SDKs installed:

2.1.400 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.1.401 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]


It is not working with complex projects, and also not working with simple projects (1 x ASP.NET Core 2.1, 1xTest Project). It does not build the ASP.NET Core 2.1 project.

Hi,

I've tried to reproduce this issue. I haven't been able to break this on a VM (using the buildtools, with and without VS installed/uninstalled). It looks like your machine is in a state where the com code we use to find the Visual Studio installation is broken. I'm guessing you've already done this, but have you tried repairing the installation?

A way of working around this is setting the environment variable NCrunchVSInstallPath.VS2017 to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools (Or the path were you've installed it) This should allow use to locate the required msbuild tools.

I hope that that should get you working again.

Sorry Michael and Remco. Sorry for wasting your time.

Your last post had the solution in it.

That specific Environment Variable was set to the old Preview Version of VS2017, for whatever reason (i don't remember). I removed it. Now with only the Build Tools it is working so far (for that simple project, will need to check more, but this was the main problem).

A pekcab. But, this leads to a suggestion from me to easier diagnose that kind of problem.

In case of the Build Problem, you give many information as seen in the first post on this thread.

So, if the Environment Variable is set and the path does not exists, point the finger at the user in that message.

At least it is fixed on my side, and if someone else has the same problem, it should be easier to point out ;)
