I was getting the errors below when publishing to a file system:

========== Build: 1 succeeded or up-to-date, 0 failed, 0 skipped ==========
========== Publish: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

The fix: Open Visual Studio 2010 with “Run as Adminstrator” (right-click it and choose that option).

PS C:\workspace> (gc “fileToParse.txt”) -notmatch "<criteria>" | out-file
"resultFile.txt"

Note: <Criteria>, for example, “not".

Cut-and-paste wasn’t working from me between my RDP session to an XP box from my Windows 7 box.  Apparently, the problem was rdpclip.exe wasn’t running. So, if you come across the same issue, check for that process and turn it on if necessary via Run > type rdpclip.

You may notice that when you attempt to add your solution to a source control in Visual Studio 2010, that it only shows a TFS server as a choice. Don’t be alarmed, however, just:

1. Go to Tools > Options.

2. Click Show all settings if not checked, then go to Source Control.

3. Go to Plug-in Selection, then change the dropdown to Microsoft Visual SourceSafe.

4. That’s it!

Happy Trailing!

As long as you have administrative access on your work computer, all you have to do is change the following key to ‘0’ (from ‘1’): UseWUServer under the following location in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

Hope this helps someone out there.
