MTM crashes when I try to Run a test

Question

I am having trouble being able to run tests in Test manager. When I try to run any test MTM.exe crashes.
It throws a series of errors in the event log but none of them make any sense to me.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing all of VS2010.

I have installed KB2387011.

It looks

from the errors like it can not find a module. but i do not know what module it is looking for.

These is a manual (non-automated) test.

Here are the messages from the Event Viewer:

The following information was included with the event:

Admin Console is not installed on following machine : xxxxxxxxx001. Please make sure it is installed properly before performing any Lab Management operation..

the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table

This last one is particularly disturbing because we are not using Lab maanager.

Has anyone got any idea what is wrong?

thanks,

Answer 1

Hi Kevin,

From the log, i notive "TF259194: System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 Admin Console is not installed on following machine : "

Can you provide more information about the test case, a manual one or a automated one?

Which part of the test case use vs lab?

What's result after install SCVMM? About SCVMM, you can refer to Using a Virtual Lab for Your Application Lifecycle.

Regards,

Answer 2

It is a manual test. In fact it is just a simple place holder test. It has 1 step which is simply to have the user start the browser.

I should not be using Lab Manager at all.

I did not install SCVMM. I had this working previously without this so I have not installed it.

Is it now a requirement to have SCVMM or have I accidently turned something on that requires this?

Answer 3

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your question.

I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Best regards,

Answer 4

Kevin,

KB2387011 is released on Oct 2010 which is early.  We have VS 2010 SP1 and a number of new updates since then.  If you haven't apply these, you'll need to:

1. VS 2010 SP1
2. TFS and VS 2010 SP1 Cumulative Update 2, on top of VS 2010 SP1.

Please let me know if the above updates could resolve theissue.

thanks,

Answer 5

These were already applied. They had no effect.

A little more information. This appears to only be on my PC. I can run he tests on our TFS Build server and it all runs fine. I have not conducted any research on the rest of our team but it appears to be a local problem rather than anything with the TFS server.

My PC is Windows 7 Enterprise with all of the latest patches installed.

Visual Studio is the ultimate version 10 also with all the latest versions installed.

thanks,

Kevin

Answer 6

Faulting module name: KERNELBASE.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16850, time stamp: 0x4e211485

From the KERNELBASE.DLL version, I suspect Windows 7 SP1 is not applied correctly.  Or you might have this file overwriten somehow. My suggestion is that you reapply Windows 7 SP1, and reapply Visual Studio 2010 SP1.

After Win 7 SP1 applied, the file version should be 6.1.7601.17651.

Thanks.
