Remote Build
 

Hey,

I'm trying to kick off a build script remotely from a server. This build script invokes other build scripts on the same server. However, when I start the remote build, I get weird errors sometimes. Most of the time the build script hangs when it starts the other build scripts. A pop window with the caption "Microsoft C++ runtime library" shows up and hangs the program execution and the 2nd build script does not execute at all. Anybody knows why this could be happening?

You need to run the VisBuildPro console app (VisBuildCmd.exe) rather than the GUI app (VisBuildPro.exe) -- both the initial command that is invoked and any secondary .bld files that that build chains to -- when building remotely, since remote execution doesn't have full interactive capabilities for running GUI apps.

Thanks!
 

Thanks! That helped.
