SDK Workaround: Setupvroot.bat in WCF samples fails on Vista if…

  • Article

The Setupvroot.bat setup script for WCF samples fails on Windows Vista if the NetMsmqActivator service is enabled and Message Queuing (MSMQ) is not installed.

This workaround applies to:

 

·         The prerelease Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5 (RC0), September, 2007

·         The prerelease Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .Net Framework 3.5 (IDS04), July, 2007

 

The Windows Communication Foundation samples setup script Setupvroot.bat does not work on Windows Vista if the NetMsmqActivator service is enabled and Message Queuing (MSMQ) is not installed. The iisreset utility does not work unless MSMQ is installed or the NetMsmqActivator service is disabled. The WCF samples setup script Setupvroot.bat will not run unless MSMQ is installed or the NetMsmqActivator service is disabled.

Make sure MSMQ is installed or disabled the NetMsmqActivator service on Windows Vista before you run the WCF samples setup script Setupvroot.bat.
