Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion
Hi
I installed Visual Build on a machine with Win2008Server X64. Since I started to build on this machine -from time to time I see the build is stopped and the log says: Process completed with exit code 1 Error firing vbld_StepDone event: Failed to instantiate script engine 'VBScript': Invalid class string 5/10/2010 2:30:10 AM: Step 'Build current project-Mixed Platforms' failed 5/10/2010 2:30:11 AM: Building failure step 'Send Gen Mail-project compilation failed(build continues)'... Error creating custom action 'Send Mail': Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. 5/10/2010 2:30:11 AM: Step 'Send Gen Mail-project compilation failed(build continues)' failed 5/10/2010 2:30:11 AM: Building failure step 'Send Gen Mail-failure of failure step'... Error creating custom action 'Send Mail': Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. 5/10/2010 2:30:11 AM: Step 'Send Gen Mail-failure of failure step' failed 5/10/2010 2:30:11 AM: Build ended (elapsed = 00:51:01). Any idea what is causing this ? I did not have such issues when the machine had Win2003 server X32 operating system |
The first error message indicates that CLSIDFromProgId for "VBScript" returned CO_E_CLASSSTRING. The second error means that CoCreateInstance for the VBScript CLSID ({B54F3741-5B07-11cf-A4B0-00AA004A55E8}) returned ERROR_KEY_DELETED. I'm not sure what could cause this (scripting in Visual Build does depend on the ActiveX Scripting environment). One other user did report this behavior on Win2008 -- in their case, the problem apparently started after IT installed a networked file system (SAN) and set up automatic backups. We haven't been able to reproduce this behavior, having run continuous builds for multiple days on Windows 2008 without errors.

Next build failed also:
10/5/2010 5:13:58 AM: Building project step 'Delete build base folder'... Deleting folder 'C:\NGBuilds'... C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /C rd /q /s C:\NGBuilds 5/10/2010 5:24:56 AM: Building project step 'Create build base folder'...

What I do not uderstand -why it says "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion" for a step which is not a VB Script step (there is no scripting part of this step) but just a simple 'Create folder' or 'Send Mail' ? Is not something wrong with VisBuild installation ?(although everything went ok when I installed it) Could be this caused bu the fact it is a X64 OS on a virtual machine? Maybe I should try to reinstall OS and use X32 -w2003 Server ? This is a machine where I had problems with frozen builds ,your suggestion was to reinstall OS but now I am running in different kind of issues ... |

I have reinstalled VisBuild (now is version 7.7) ,will see if it helps
OS on this machine is recently installed,I would consider reinstalling only if there is no other choice. I do not see any other software interfering with VisBuild Will come back if the issue appears again . |
After installing VisBuild 7.7-same problem appeared.
This box was recently reinstalled with W2008Server as I had other issues with freezing build (previously it was W2003server) and I hoped OS reinstall will solve the issue but I see now I stepped into different kind of issues ;-( Any suggestion about what should i do next in order to make it working normally ? Or how can I detect if there is some software interracting with VBP (I do not see anything like this) ? |

We've been building the attached project w/ VBP 7.7 on a clean Win 2008 R2 DataCenter x64 VM for several days now without any problems. Does the issue occur with this project on the problem machine?
|
I tested your project several times for several hours -always worked ok
But when running the build project it happened 2 things -when running in parallel with your project -it remained frozen (this was the reason we have reinstalled the OS on this machine in order to get rid of this frozen issue) at some step where msxsl.exe is ran: 10/13/2010 3:11:48 AM: Building project step 'add solution result'... C:\Program Files (x86)\VisBuildPro7\Tools\msxsl.exe "C:\Reports\BuildsOutput\2010.1013.10.0\results.xml" "C:\BuildsIntraday\ffng\Install\VBP\Processing\AddS olutionResult.xslt" -o "C:\Reports\BuildsOutput\2010.1013.10.0\addedResult s.xml" "buildLabel"="2010.1013.10.0" "solutionName"="SystemMonitoringAndManagement/SystemMonitoringAndManagement.sln" "status"="Success" "duration"="948" "output"="\\DEV-BLD01\Reports\BuildsOutput\2010.1013.10.0\SystemMo nitoringAndManagement_SystemMonitoringAndManagemen t.sln.txt" When running just the build project -it appeared the other issue: 12/10/2010 5:18:50 AM: Building project step 'Create build base folder'... Error creating custom action 'Create Folder': Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. Only one time from approx 9-10 attempts I was able to run the build without any issue |
Can you narrow down the problem build project to something we can build here and reproduce?
|
ok,will do that
will try to make a smaller project and to reproduce same issues then send it to u |
I tried to reproduce the issues and ths situation is:
-I ran the test projects you sent (build.bld but I added a failure step) –couple of times it failed like this: 3/11/2010 3:05:44 AM: Building project step 'Run Script'... hello 3/11/2010 3:05:44 AM: Building project step 'Delete Folder'... Error in System (VBScript) script code at Line 180, Column 2 3/11/2010 3:05:44 AM: Building failure step 'Send Generic Mail-step failure'... Error creating custom action 'Send Mail': The media is write protected. 3/11/2010 3:05:45 AM: Build ended (elapsed = 03:25:05). -I created a text project with extracts from the normal build project –containing mainly the parts where the build failed with “Illegal operation ...” –delete folder,create folder ,SVN export sources to that folder. Always this project went ok -I started the normal build –very rare is working fine ,usually it fails with Illegal operation but now i noticed it appeared on some other step also (set macro value): 3/11/2010 3:51:09 AM: Building project step 'SET TIME_END Macro'... Error creating custom action 'Set Macro': Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. And not only here: 3/11/2010 3:16:33 AM: Building project step 'Create build base folder'... Error creating custom action 'Create Folder': Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion. Other times the normal build remains frozen at a “Run program ” step where msxl.exe is ran: 3/11/2010 1:23:42 AM: Building project step 'add solution result'... C:\Program Files (x86)\VisBuildPro7\Tools\msxsl.exe "C:\Reports\BuildsOutput\10.1.2019.0\results.xml" "C:\Builds\ff\Install\VBP\Processing\AddSolutionRes ult.xslt" -o "C:\Reports\BuildsOutput\10.1.2019.0\addedResults.x ml" "buildLabel"="10.1.2019.0" "solutionName"="SystemMonitoringAndManagement/SystemMonitoringAndManagement.sln" "status"="Success" "duration"="438" "output"="\\FF-DEV-BLD01\Reports\BuildsOutput\10.1.2019.0\SystemMonit oringAndManagement_SystemMonitoringAndManagement.s ln.txt" Or remains frozen at a step of type Make VS.Net : 29/10/2010 4:16:09 AM: Building project step 'Build current project-Mixed Platforms'... Pre-processing... I do not know how to make a project to send it to you for reproduction of the issue –I expected the test project with SVN export will fail also because it contains the steps failing in normal build –but it went ok Anyway –I would not be able to send even this test project because it implies exporting the sources which is not allowed to be given outside of our company It is interesting though to see these facts: -before this machine was installed with W2003 Server and from time to time the build used to froze unexpectedly -then it was installed Win Server 2008 R2 and it appeared from time to time the issue with “Illegal operation “ and also from time to time the frozen issue –but both more often than before when Win2003 server was installed -sometimes the build went ok –howcome is this possible?Why is not failing constantly? I do not know what to do more ,problem is we cannot use this machine for build ,right now i am copying the build results from a machine located in other env where i have no issues at all. But I need to make this machine working on this environment also ,this is just temporary workaround |
We'd like to know why it fails/hangs at all. The error messages indicate strange problems in the COM (Component Object Model) layer, where CoCreateInstance for any component starts failing with bizarre errors.
We've built the build.bld project on Win2003, Win2008, and Win7 virtual machines for days on end, and have not been able to reproduce any hangs or errors. So you were able to reproduce a failure with the build.bld we attached earlier? How long did the project run before it hung? At least there other machines where the problem doesn't occur? |

Yes-I caught an error with the sample project you sent me(just slightly modified).Error message is not Illegal operation but something else but I suspect the issue are related.I attached the log file for this test project-it started on 2/11/2010 11:40:41 PM ,failed on 3/11/2010 3:05:45 AM.The problem appears on our Sydney build machine.
I have another build machine on Prague-never had any issues(no hanging or failing). One more thing -I noticed another issue on Sydney build machine -other VBP project launched as scheduled task fails randomly with the message: 3/11/2010 7:32:56 AM: -------------------- Starting Build: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VisBuildPro7\UpdateDBSettingToolFolder.bld' -------------------- The evaluation version is limited to 50 steps. 3/11/2010 7:32:56 AM: Build ended (elapsed = 00:00:00). This is strange because VBP is registered properly on this machine.After rebooting the machine -task is executed ok without any re-registration. Maybe this is related with the other issues -any it is a problem for me as the task is not executed at all. |
I don't know if it's related to this problem, but we have had a few reports of VBP reverting to eval mode when starting from a scheduled task, which were resolved by using an alternate registration method (see http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthre...?threadid=4713).

I followed the instructions from your link -will see if it helps with all the issues or just with the one regarding switch to evaluation mode
