Sitecore XP/XC 10 installation fails at WebDeploy task

-


 Recently I have encountered the error below when trying to run the WebDeploy task.

Install-SitecoreConfiguration : Command C:\Program Files\iis\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe returned a non-zero

exit code - (-1073741819)

At C:\SitecoreXC10_Install\XC10\SIF.Sitecore.Commerce.5.0.42\sc100_com_install.ps1:292 char:5

+     Install-SitecoreConfiguration @deployCommerceParams -Verbose *>&1

+     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Write-Error], WriteErrorException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.WriteErrorException,Install-SitecoreConfiguration

Normally it could be fixed by installing the following missing prerequisites

  • Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server 
  • Microsoft Command Line Utilities for SQL Server
  • DacFx and SQLSysCLRTypes.
However I tried install/reinstall all the them but still failing.

With a stroke of luck, I closed the normal powershell window and reopen another one in x86 mode & ran that task.

This time, it executed successfully!

My guess is that somewhere in my local PC, WebDeploy is configured to run only in x86 mode of Powershell.

If someone can point me into fixing that, let me know in the comment.

For now, this is good enough for me to carry on.

Happy Sitecoring!

It isn't uncommon when you open up the Experience Analytics dashboard hoping to see some beautiful graphs and charts showing analytics data and boom! It welcomes you with the ugly red lines: I am usually very calm when dealing with errors in this dashboard because I have seen many root causes and found the fixes for them. Usually they are caused by certificate issues here or there . But this time looking at the log in the website, it shows a brand new error: 30240 10:24:37 ERROR [Sitecore Services]: HTTP GET URL http://mydomain.dev.local/sitecore/api/ao/aggregates/all/0751EFD8564F40A38083EF5C6E194247/-3191897772735422194?&dateGrouping=by-auto&&dateFrom=18-01-2020&dateTo=16-04-2020&keyGrouping=by-key Exception System.ArgumentNullException: typeKey should not be null.

CI/CD with TeamCity + Sitecore 9.2 + Unicorn

In this post, I will tell you how to setup CI/CD for Sitecore 9.2 with TeamCity. Solution Update Prerequisites: - Sitecore 9.2 project/solution created Firstly you would want to be able to synchronize Sitecore items between environments. I choose to use Unicorn which can be installed to your solution via Nuget. The version that I am using are 4.1.1. You will need to install both Unicorn & Unicorn Core packages: You can notice that the target framework for Unicorn packages are .NET Framework 4.7.2 which I use for my Sitecore 9.2 solution. Assuming that you have already known how to use Unicorn, the only place that you need to change to enable automatic deployment of Sitecore items is in Unicorn.Configs.Default.config By default, the value is false, you will need to update the above value to true. However I would not want to touch the default config file. I will create a transformed configuration file and update this value. I prefer using profile configuration ...
