Re: TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

Sorry for the delay,

I did manage to test it on a local container and it worked with version 23.9.
Afterwards I immediately wanted to confirm this on the teamcity server as well, but unfortunately the host machine is down since the end of last week. :(
As I have no access to the host directly I am ...

Re: TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

How did this go on your end?

I tested it on a third PC, again with a servercore:ltsc2022 image. Sadly the result was the same as before. All commands executed using AdvancedInstaller.com hang indefinitely. This also includes the /register command.

I have two other customers that are reporting ...

Re: TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

First things first, I checked the license and it is set correctly (at least on the host). I also tried a build without defining a license. During that I discovered that I can dump the current threads of the teamcity agent program via the server UI and did some digging in there. I discovered that it ...

Re: TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

After a lot of testing around and asking in the TeamCity forum I found some new clues.

I tested running AdvancedInstaller without TeamCity. I did a fresh installation on the container and even tested it with a blank container without TeamCity (mcr.microsoft.com/windows/servercore:ltsc2022) and ...

Re: TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

Unfortunately using a different user in the Dockerfile did not made a difference.

Based on your results I created a fresh installer project and added it to a new TeamCity Build configuration. The configuration only contains the build step for the installer. I tried even switching from my custom ...

Re: TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

Thank you for the reply,

Here is the compose file I used to setup my containers. Please note, that you have to replace the <Server-IP-Address> with the address of the server. In my case using the address of the host machine worked.

Re: TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

I am using this official guide to setup the build step. There is no mention of explicitly adding a /build argument. As I mentioned before, this exact configuration worked without issues on my local instance.

Based on the protocol from the local instance I posted the plugin seems to call /execute to ...

Re: TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

I am not sure how to redirect the output as there is no option in the plugin. Also the whole agent just gets stuck and I cannot even stop the build. I need to forcefully restart the whole agent because nothing else works.

Her is the configuration I am using for the Build:

TeamCity Agent getting stuck building Installer

I am using a TeamCity Server to build my installer but the Agent always gets stuck without any log messages.

Both the server and agent of TeamCity are running inside a Docker Container. The build completes without issues until the Installer build Step is reached. Then the agent just runs ...

Re: Changes in Publish output not detected

Sorry for the late reply, the update notification seems to have vanished.

Thanks for suggesting this solution, I did not know this feature existed. I successfully added a folder sync and it seems to work for now.
Side Note: I had to remove the Publish Output before or otherwise I would get a lot of ...

Changes in Publish output not detected

I have an existing .Net-WPF project where I use a Folder Publish Profile to provide the file to the Advanced Installer project.

For the initial setup I used the "Add Project Output" option of the Advanced Installer Extension for VS2022 which successfully detected the required files.

Recently I ...

Re: Advanced Installer Visual Studio Project Error When Loading

Can confirm this. When I open an .aip file in VisualStudio 2022 it crashes shortly after.

After that I reinstalled the older version. With both versions in paralell I can open the project but get repeated error messages and cannot save the changes.

Then I removed the newest version and I can open ...
