Expression Blend Help... Debug Errors

[Thornton]

i am using expression blend 4 on windows 7 with .net framework 4.0, when i debug, build, or rebuild, i get an error, to long to remember and it wont let me copy and paste the text. it happens with all programs, wpf, silverlight, c # and VB. i can get it t work in expression web only if i use visual studio 2010 professional as a middle layer. anyone got any ideas?

Get the full .net 4.0 package here;

Download details: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer)

Install it, run Windows update, and see if the errors go away.

Thanks, but it did not work. the error summed up says

Quote

" The specified solution configuration "debug|HPD" is invalid. Please specify a valid solution configuration using the configuration and platform properties (e.g. msbuild.exe solution.sln /p:configuration=debug / p: platform="any cpu" or leave those properties blank to use the default solution."

OK. Some applications wont work properly with the "standard" .net 4.0 Client. I have had this quite a lot, and I thought it was likely the case here. Obviously it wasn't.

Sorry I was unable to help. Try the user forum mentioned.

A quick (about 30 seconds) search on the Expression forum may have the solution. BTW, do you have an HP system?

Portions of possible solution threads:

> I believe the problem is that HP puts an environment variable/reg key on their machine that conflicts with one the Visual Studio/msbuild use. PLATFORM is used in msbuild files to specify which platform to build for (x86, AnyCPU...) and it is saying that HPD is not a valid platform value.

> It is as simple as opening the registry editor (Win + R and then enter Regedit) and there find the path to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment and once there, delete the PLATFORM variable. After this, close the registry editor and restart the machine.

I solved the problem as follows.
Using regedit.exe I navigated to th registry path
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
and selected the key Platform. Platform had the value HPD.
Then I deleted only the value HPD. After this the key Platform was still there but empty. I closed Regedit, restarted my PC and run Blend 4.
The build for my HelloWorldSilverlight4 now succeded.
Although I would like to know if there are any known issues concerning this workaround. What I found about MSB4126 on the internet was that this error occurs if the registry key "Platform" at the above mentioned registry path has any value. The value I guess comes from HP (Hewlett Packard). Maybe it stands for Hewlett Packard Device? The machine I use is a HP Pavilion. What I found on the internet mentioned was that also other PC manufacturer are writing a value to a registry key named Platform. And in those cases the error MSB4126 occured. I don't know whether on all machines with a value at registry key Platform but it seems to be a known issue.

yes i unfortunatlyy have an hp, i am switching out parts because they have screwed me over and left me subject to viruses a great deal of times because they have run remote diagnostics without my permission and then claim they where not responsible. they have blocked my regesterd phone number and refuse to have followed through with my warenty i paid for. i am switching parts to parts i know how to use so i can fix my computer my self if there is a problem.

I feel your pain - I have a Compaq laptop...first thing I did was uninstall all the crap, shut down the HP services. Eventually I got a new copy of Win7 and installed it on that laptop. Did the same with my Dell laptop and HP Pavilion desktop (my other desktop computers are build from scratch).

Start a new thread regarding your hardware problem. Meanwhile, see if the ideas from the Expression forum work.

do you know if installing a new copy of windows will fix what HP has done in the regestry, because they have caused other problems, like i cant un install the norten trial that i didnt even want on it, when i try, windows says it is a security threat, and i agree, HP stough should be a security theat, but i need to run the un installer wheich is HP/Norton intigrated and just Shift+Del on the files can screw with your system, i cannot un install from the bios or safe mode.
P.S. it worked, ty and also ty to the person who wrote the origonal article
