Exception on Loading Team Foundation Administration Console: Exception from HRESULT: 0x88982F50

Question

Hi,

I get the following error when trying to launch the TFS 2010 beta 2 Admin Console: image.

The error occurres every time (including post-setup launch). So I have not been able to configure TFS at all.

The System is Win2k3 64b on x64 VPS. SQL 2008 Express Advanced (inkl. SP1) and SharePoint (WSS 3.0 SP2, CU Oct 09) are already installed (even before the setup). The eventlog is "empty".

Anyone having a similar problem?

Regards

Felix Kollmann

Answer 1

Can you try enabling tracing?

In the registry, HKLM\Softward\Microsoft\TeamFoundationServer\Admin - set tracelevel to 4.  Open up debug view from sysyinternals then close and re-open the admin console.

You should see trace output.  

I'll get a dev from the admin console to look into this.

Thanks

Bryan

Answer 2

This might be a codec issue with WPF trying to load a PNG file

I'll have someone look at it but we may need to get this over to the WPF folks.

Thanks for the quick reply! I downloaded DebugView from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896647.aspx and did as you suggested.

The last output is:

00003400 18.30224037 [69624] [Info   @15:29:25.568] Launching Team Foundation Administration Console

00003401 18.30517578 [69624] [Error  @15:29:25.584] There was an exception while launching the Team Foundation Administration Console: Exception from HRESULT: 0x88982F50

I am having a similar problem with the same behaviour but a different error message.

When I try to launch the Team Foundation Administration Console, I get the "Microsoft Team Foundation Server Configuration Utility Error" dialog box showing the message text of "There was an exception while launching the Team Foundation Administration Console. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.. (Excpetino from HRESULT: 0x8007000B)".

I have similar messages in my log file to what felix has shown above.

Happy to provide full log file if you want it.

Answer 5

This is a different issue - this looks to be around the licensing code.  Matt's on it with you and we have a bug tracking it.

The first issue seems to be a codec issue around PNG files.  I sent the dev a mail on it.

Answer 6

Hi Felix, I'm sorry you are encountering this issue.  Unfortunately the trace doesn't contain any more details.  To narrow this down, we will need to get a call stack or possibly a mini dump.  If you can email us I can give you instructions on how to gather these.  In the meantime I will continue to research this internally.  Send an email to tfsb2sup<at>microsoft<dot>com and I will respond with additional instructions.  In the subject of you email put "Attn: Tony regarding admin console" so that it is sure to find me.  Thanks.

FIXED! Installing the Windows Imaging Component fixes the error:
