I have a legacy web application that I've recently migrated to VSTS (from an old TFS2008 server), and am now trying to set up CI/CD in VSTS.
I've got an on-premise build agent, which claims to successfully built the solution, (i.e. the build passes) but the artefact generated comes out as an empty "drop" folder, which I don't understand.
As this is an on-premise build server, I have the luxury of being able to poke its file system, and I can see that <agent root>\_work\20\a is indeed empty, even though the associated website has built, and has even precompiled (i.e. the thing to be deployed does exist at <agent root>\_work\20\s\PrecompiledWeb) So what am I missing to connect the two proverbial dots, over and above what the "ASP.NET (PREVIEW)" build template gave me to start with?
The solution file is pretty straight forward:

The (slightly edited down to fit here) build log looks all fairly sensible, as the web project hasn't really been tinkered with for several years:

"Web Site" project is different with "Web App" project. The "Asp.Net (PREVIEW)" template is used for Web Application Project.
For "Web Site" project, you just need to deploy the project source folder to your server directly. So you just need to set the "Path to Publish" to "Build.SourcesDirectory" in "Publish Artifact" step.
Build artifacts are located in $(Build.SourcesDirectory) by default, so you should specify the output directory in MSBuild arguments or add a Copy files tasks to copy the artifacts from $(Build.SourcesDirectory) to $(build.artifactstagingdirectory). Detail options as below:
Option 1: set MSBuild Arguments
You can set the MSbuild Arguments as:
/p:OutDir="$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\\"
Or as:
/p:DeployOnBuild=true /p:WebPublishMethod=Package /p:PackageAsSingleFile=true /p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true /p:PackageLocation=$(build.artifactstagingdirectory)
Option 2: use Copy Files task
Source Folder: $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)
Contents: user wildcards to specify which files need to copy
Target Folder: $(build.artifactstagingdirectory)
In the MS Build Arguments on the Visual Studio Build step, I pass these arguments:
/p:SkipInvalidConfigurations=true
/p:DeployOnbuild=True
/p:GenerateProjectSpecificOutputFolder=true
/p:GenerateBuildInfoConfigFile=false
/p:OutDir=$(Build.BinariesDirectory)
/p:UseWPP_CopyWebApplication=true
/p:PipelineDependsOnBuild=false
The build results end up in the $(Build.BinariesDirectory). From there I either do a Copy and Publish Build Artifacts step (deprecated) or a Copy task and a Publish Build Artifacts task. Either way, it ends up copying the results from the $(Build.BinariesDirectory)\ApplicationName\_PublishedWebsites\ApplicationName folder to $(build.artifactstagingdirectory)\ApplicationName folder and publishing that.

I have an asp.net webform project that build on system1 but not on system2 (they both are windows 10 and visual studio 2022 Version 17.4.3) and when I build visual studio show an error in error list window :
"Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Metadata failure while creating assembly -- The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. Modabber D:\BehsamanCode\Modabber\Modabber.Web\ALINK"
Also it shows this error in the output window :
"ALINK : error AL1019: Metadata failure while creating assembly -- The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"
I searched these errors and I enabled long path on windows10 and uncheck Sign the assembly but not work.
What should we do?
I don't know how but it resolved. I think system2 hard drive has a problem and after win10 repair it itself then restart windows the problem gone and project builded.
My Wix toolset installer installs many files, but only one of these I would like to register for COM interop. I have tried the heat automatic registration but can't get it to work, so am falling back to what I used to do in installshield which is run a custom action at the end of installation to register using regasm.
This is failing for reasons I don't understand.
My Product.wxs file registers the action as follows:
<InstallExecuteSequence>
<Custom Action="RegisterAddIn" After="InstallFiles">NOT REMOVE</Custom>
</InstallExecuteSequence>
Then creates the action here:
<Fragment>
<CustomAction Id ="RegisterAddIn" Directory ="INSTALLFOLDER" Execute="immediate" ExeCommand="[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm /codebase /tlb "[INSTALLFOLDER]Aeolus.Excel.Addin.dll"" Return ="check"/>
</Fragment>
On running this installer I get the error
"A program run as part of setup did not finish as expected."
Extract from the msiexec log doesn't shown below.
CustomAction RegisterAddIn returned actual error code 100 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

Editing the .msi file with Orca, I have this entry in the table which looks correct to me:
[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm /codebase /tlb "[INSTALLFOLDER]Aeolus.Excel.Addin.dll"
If I remove these custom actions, run my installer, then run this in a command prompt (run as administrator):
%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm /codebase /tlb "C:\Program Files (x86)\Aeolus\Aeolus.Excel.Addin.dll"
It registers fine. if not run as administrator it fails of course. Can I assume any custom actions will be run as administrator?
In case anyone else has similar issues, I managed to fix it. It turned out to be a permission issue. I was assuming that the installer and all custom actions ran as administrator but actually you have to tell it to run at that level of permission.
So I needed to make 3 fixes.
1. Request elevated permission in package definintion:
<Package InstallerVersion="200" Compressed="yes" InstallScope="perMachine" InstallPrivileges="elevated" AdminImage="yes"/>
Set "Execute" to "deferred" and "Impersonate" to "no" in custom action definition:
<CustomAction Id ="RegisterAddIn" Directory ="INSTALLFOLDER" Execute="deferred" ExeCommand="[WindowsFolder]Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\regasm /codebase /tlb "[INSTALLFOLDER]Aeolus.Excel.Addin.dll"" Return ="check" Impersonate="no"/>
Then it all runs as expected.
I've added my 'traditional' DAL project to an ASP.NET vNext and worked/debugged with it locally without any problems. But when I tried to publish it to Azure it would not. It states '3>Publish failed due to build errors. Check the error list for more details.', but there are 0 in the Error List, also the project runs just fine.
So is it possible to combine 'old' 4.5.1 projects with DNX targetted projects? If so, is Publishing now just an issue at the moment or something else?
As a workaround I tried to create a DNX class library, but that wouldn't allow me (in VS 2015) to add References using the Browse button, so I couldn't port my old class library to the new format as I also require 2 DLL's.

Fixing what I already have
If you don't want to upgrade, you could try running the following command from your project directory:
C:\Users\Gabriel\.dnx\runtimes\dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta6\bin\dnu.cmd publish "D:\Development\dotnet\Example\Example.Kitchen" --out "C:\Users\Gabriel\AppData\Local\Temp\PublishTemp" --configuration Debug --runtime dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta6 --wwwroot-out "wwwroot" --quiet
However, remove the --quiet flag and make sure to run dnvm list to ensure you have the dnx-clr-win-x86.1.0.0-beta6 runtime.
Recommended step:
I think this has been solved in the latest beta8.
Make sure to update to the latest version (RC1) (including tooling) and ensure that you are not using older packages (no beta6/beta8).
Also, make sure to looking at the breaking changes that has been introduced in the RC1.
I have already installed vncserver, flex sdk 4.6 and xvnc plugin in my jenkins.
Not sure what else i need to do.

Thank you.

hints that you missed to set the path to your flex4.6 directory (lib/*.jar inside) correctly.

My app is aspx.net 4.0 - anyone seen this before?
You should probably check the paths in your solution and project files. From the error, D:\temp\WebSites\wsolver\ is referenced, but that path is not found when your code is built on AppHarbor.
A good way to debug this would be to checkout or clone your code to a different machine to check whether it builds there.
