Register COM server in the TFS Build process

FinalBuilder Discussion

Hello,

we are trying to setup our cont. integration build with automated testing using TFS. The way we want to test is - using automation interface of the application.exe out of the script (vb- or jscript). Logically, first of all we have to register com server, starting it with parameter "/RegServer" on the build machine after the compilation step. The problem we have at the moment - if the FB project starts locally, it runs perfectly, on the other hand, running it on the tfs-build-server hangs the build process forever until it will be explicitly stopped.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

My guess would be that the com server is displaying some sort of message box and that is why the build is hanging. Try logging into the machine as the TFS user and and run the action and see what happens.

Hello,

i have tested the proposed procedure - the server will be registered without any messages.

Thanks,
