  You can try this method with the BuildMaster service (INEDOBMSVC) or agent (INEDOBMAGT) if it's running on a remote server: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/4891/Interact-With-Desktop-when-Installing-Windows-Serv

  I am sorry. The package that still caused problems had a version number like 3.40.0000.0. This seems to bother a nuget 2.7 client, but not a nuget 2.6 client. The problem disappeared when rebuilding the package using the 3.40.0.0 version number.

  [3] – yes; I'm currently doing the following: Create an application package (by using the standard "Package" target in my "Build .NET MSBuild Project" action) Create a BuildMaster build artifact (i.e. create an archive file containing the application package and ancillary files) Deploy the build artifact to a folder on the build server. Run Web Deploy (msdeploy.exe) via a "Execute Command Line" action to deploy the application package (in the folder to which the artifact was deployed in [3]) to the relevant server(s) for the environment.

  I was able to resolve this issue using this format: DATA Source=<value from tnsnames.ora>;USER ID=<myusername>;PASSWORD=<mypassword>; I restarted my system to restart Oracle. Then Test Connection was successful after that.

  We actually have two use cases for delete: maintenance scripts (we have beta packages published for each commit so we need to perform periodically cleanup) automatic validation of new ProGet releases (so we can quickly "validate" a new release before move it into production) I know they aren't common use cases but it will be useful.

  One thing we could do is modify the "Execution Complete Notifier" to send a notification out when a warning occurs. There is currently an option to send the notification only on failure. Would that be helpful?

  Does this happen with all packages, or just one package? Can you try pulling a package to the feed (like JQuery), and then deleting it? Can you disable friendly error messages (webCustomErrors=off in advanced config), and post stack trace?

  The root cause of this is that an undeclared execution variable is being created to override a declared non-execution variable. For example, if you create TESTVAR as a Release Variable but not as an Execution Variable, then use Set Variable Value to override TESTVAR value for the execution, it will exhibit this behavior. This will be fixed in a future version 3.7.1; either with a more helpful error or supporting the behavior.

  Thanks Peijen! In this case, you would use the Set Variable Values action to set the TargetDatabaseUsername variable name to %DatabaseUsername%. When the action is run, the TargetDatabaseUsername variable will be set to whatever the value of DatabaseUsername is at the time.

  Unfortunately that issue PG-119 was moved to a future a release because of the priority of the other issues listed in the release notes: http://inedo.com/proget/release-notes#2.1.3 We will try to get this in 2.1.4.

  Hi Andrew, You'd probably want to use Active Directory groups of some sort... but you could either add explicit privileges or add deny privileges to the groups you don't want to go to prod. Just keep in mind, however, that deny takes precedent over a grant in the same scope. IOW, if you say "X can deploy to A" then "X cannot deploy to A", then X will not be able to deploy to A. Steve

  Check out the "Get Labeled" action under the "Source Control" group of actions. I'm using Git and that's how I pull the code associated with a tag. I'm pretty sure "Get Latest" does pull down the whole repo. In general, when automating application builds, you want the process to be as repeatable as possible, and relying on a repo to be maintained on the build server between builds introduces unnecessary complications.

  Every .NET project that consumes NuGet packages has a packages.config file, and that should be in source control. Unless I'm missing something, the deployment plan actions should be as simple as "Getting Latest" from TFS, then an "Install NuGet Packages" action followed by "Create NuGet Package".

  Yes it would, but the editor UI may attempt to validate the credential. The way to get around this would be to edit the Action XML directly and replace the principal name with %VARNAME%. We'll add a fix in a future version of BuildMaster (likely 4.x) to bypass this validation if %[A-Z]% or something is matched.

  Ah, yes, that is indeed a bug. The home page "Browse" should link to the first available feed. I've logged this as PG-121 and we will fix in a future version of ProGet. The "Feeds" navigation link, however, will show the available packages.
