My client is using TFS 2008 SP1 but most applications are still using
VS2005.  I have a number of build types that until recently have built
without any issue using the VS2005 GUI.  Recently SOME of the build
types have been getting the error (as a message box) from the VS2005 GUI
"Drop location is not defined in the Build Type <Build Type Name"

 

Another symptom I've noticed, if you right click on the "Team Builds"
node on the VS2005 Team Explorer and click "Build Team Project
Applications..." in the dropdown for "Build Type", the build types
appear to be in a "Random" order - and don't include the projects I'm
having the issue with.  Note that even after adding the Property of
"DropLocation" to the "TFSBuild.proj" for the build type - the problem
continues.

 

As a "Work Around" I'm having the developers build from VS2008 or Web
Access - but it would be preferred to be able to build from the IDE they
are developing in.

 

Also - is there a way to control in the VS2005 IDE what "Build Machines"
show in the dropdown?  We have a "Dev" TFS environment with a "DEV"
TFS2008SP1 Build Agent - that I would like to NOT be able to be
requested from "Production TFS"

 

The problem seemed to start happening after I restored the Production
TFS backup to the Dev Server (not sure if that's conincdence)

 

 

Thanks!
