With visual studio 2012 set up projects has been discontinued. I was finding a way to automatically do a web deploy using team city and I stumbled across this fantastic article
http://www.troyhunt.com/2010/11/you-deploying-it-wrong-teamcity.html
I was able to create a package for my website(LogIn) using msbuild, which created following artifacts
PackageTmp
Login.deploy.cmd
Login.deploy-readme.txt
Login.SetParameters.xml
Login.SourceManifest.xml
Login.zip
What I wanted to do next is, after doing some xml transform using Nant inbuilt peek functionality, I simply want to invoke the Login.deploy.cmd through Nant. To test this batch file, I ran this file with following parameter
login.deploy.cmd /T
which generated following out put
=========================================================
SetParameters from:
"C:\Soft\Nant\nant-0.92\bin\LogIn\LogIn\obj\Debug\Package\Login.SetParameters.xm
l"
You can change IIS Application Name, Physical path, connectionString
or other deploy parameters in the above file.

The logs says it has created a virtual directory by name Login_deploy, but when I check it from inet manager, I do not see any virtual directory with this name.
I am little bit confused here. Any suggestions welcome.
Edit
I also tried to invoked the msdelpoy exe manually using the following command line parameter
msdeploy.exe
-source:package=’Login.zip‘
-dest:auto
-verb:sync
-disableLink:AppPoolExtension
-disableLink:ContentExtension
-disableLink:CertificateExtension
-allowUntrusted
-retryAttempts=2
-setParam:’IIS Web Application Name’=’TargetWebApp‘
which gave following error
Error: Unrecognized argument 'Web'. All arguments must begin with "-".
Error count: 1.
Try running this:
login.deploy.cmd /Y
Tthe /T switch is for testing, and the /Y switch will actually install the package.

i have just installed activemq, but when i try to run the following command:
./activemq start xbean:file:workspace/activemq/apache-activemq-5.9.0/conf/activemq.xml
I get the following:

The activemq.log says the following:
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: workspace/activemq/apache-activemq-5.9.0/conf/activemq.xml./activemq (No such file or directory)
But the activemq.xml file is there?. I am very new to activemq and dont know where to go from here, thank you.

I have been using SonarQube for code analyzing at a basic level however now I would like to measure the code against FX-COP rules. Hence I am attempting to use MSBuild SonarQube scanner. I read the documentation thoroughly and have setup my project likewise however when I execute it gives me error.

You need to run all your commands in a Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2013 or higher and:
use at least MSBuild 12.0
have .NET 4.5.2+ installed
You have this error because the FxCop Results are not generated.
Do you see in the MSBuild's logs, execution of FxCop? This is visible inside the RunCodeAnalysis section of MSBuild's logs.
You need to run this from command line and use the "-X" flag on your command, this will give you verbose debugging, I would highly reccomend doing the following for troubleshooting.
sonar-runner.exe <arg> <arg> -X > sonar-runnerLog.txt
Then read or dump that log back here. either way you'll know a lot more about what the actual problem is.
You can get Visual Studio Express 2013 (or 15) for free and both of those come with their respective developer command prompts.
So I have a Wix bootstrapper that installs VC++ 2005 (x86) Redistributable among other things and also installs a 3rd party MSI that keeps failing on a failed SelfReg of one of its dlls. When I install VC++ 2005 (x86) outside of the bootstrapper everything works fine and the bootstrapper chain skips the VC++ install and the installs the MSI requiring the SelfRegs without issue. However, when I have my bootstrapper install the VC++ Redistributable before the MSI it depends on it fails because the SelfRegs fail.
Now if I were to guess the issue may have something to do with environment variables not getting refreshed during the bootstrapper chain and thus a reboot could fix it. I would prefer an alternative solution and was wondering if someone else may have an idea of what's happening and give me an alternative.
Update:
So when I hit the point of failure, I can confirm that VC++ 2005 (x86) is installed in both the log files, the registry key at HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/DevDiv/VC/8.0/RED/1033/Install, and manifest files in C:\Windows\WinSxS\Manifests. When I run sxstrace while trying to self-register the DLLs manually with Regsvr32.exe I get this log.

Also snapped this pick on doing a Dependency Walker on the dll.
There could be few other reasons such as some dependency missing or the user context under which the bootstrapper executes is different from the working scenario.
The first thing i would do here is to inspect the windows installer logs.
To generate , windows installer logs, you can follow the following link:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2005/03/29/help-me-help-you-if-you-have-setup-bugs.aspx
-How are you executing your installer outside of the bootstrapper?
Are you installing them in silent mode? Its important to do this as the bootstrapper installs the msi's in silent mode.
Are you installing them over an elevated command prompt?
I am asking the above questions as you state that the installation works outside of the bootstrapper.
-Once you hit the error with Self regs, do you get an error message?
If yes, instead of clicking on Ok and allowing the installation to roll back, can you go to the folder where the files are copied. Try to register the dll manually from the command prompt and see if you can register the dll.
if none of the above things work, please post a log file from the installation and then we can take it forward.
So my situation is a bit odd because I am looking at a server with no access to the source code. Everything regarding the servlets has worked fine up until now, but there is this sudden, spontaneous error that has come up regarding one of the Java servlets having a null pointer exception.
Here is the error log:

However going over to the catalina file I notice that it states that in a few locations, it is trying to validate .jar files, and that there are servlet.jar files not being loaded in the WEB-INF/lib directory.
Here is an example of a line with a certain location:
8-Apr-2014 2:02:00 PM org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader validateJarFile
INFO: validateJarFile(/opt/apps/tomjet/webapps/wapMIG/WEB-INF/lib/servlet-api.jar) - jar not loaded. See Servlet Spec 2.3, section 9.7.2. Offending class: javax/servlet/Servlet.class
Overall I am quite baffled by this problem as in terms of user interaction with the source code there was absolutely none as no one has access to it. It was just so sudden and spontaneous.
Any ideas/sources that could possibly help me with this problem? Much appreciated.
The error is the jar servlet-api.jar in your WEB-INF/folder, the container provide the servlet-api.jar and it cause the problem in deployment, you need to remove this jar from your lib folder.
You could need this jar to compile your project, so you must configure the project to use this jar in your IDE, in eclipse you can add it in the Java Build Path as an external jar, but I recommend you to enable the Web Dynamic Project Facet and configuring tomcat as your runtime enviroment. (Project -> Properties -> Project Facets)
