Расследование ошибки установки Visual Studio 2015

Решили мы как-то перевести свой проект на Visual Studio 2015 — там ведь столько захватывающих фич! Вчера вот только решили, а уже сегодня утром я запустил её инсталлятор. Небо было безоблачным, ничто не предвещало беды. Ну что, в самом деле, может пойти не так? Сколько уже этих Visual Studio переставлено — не счесть (я, помнится, ещё 6.0 когда-то ставил). Кто бы мог подумать, что эта тривиальнейшая задача может вылиться в весьма неожиданный забег по граблям длинной почти в целый рабочий день.

Похрустев немного жестким диском, красивый инсталятор показал мне совершенно некрасивое сообщение об ошибке. Вот такое:

Хм. Не поставился значит, Team Explorer и ещё пару минорных пакетов. Ну ок. Закрываем, переустанавливаем. Не помогает. Удаляем студию, перезагружаемся, устанавливаем — та же ошибка. Лезем в Гугл с вопросом об ошибке установки Visual Studio 2015 на этапе инсталляции компонента Team Explorer и понимаем, что проблема это массовая — десятки ссылок с тем же описанием:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17

Отвечают на все эти вопросы специалисты первой линии техподдержки Microsoft, советы которых сводятся к «отключите антивирус», «проверьте чексуму образа со студией», «проверьте диск на ошибки». Ничего из этого, конечно, не помогает, о чём им и рассказывают, после чего они пропадают и больше не отвечают. Очень дружелюбная пользовательская поддержка, ничего не скажешь.

Ну что же, пора включать голову, брать в руки инструменты и разбираться. Поехали.

Итак, всё что у нас есть, это входная точка ошибки — проблема с Team Explorer. И ссылочка на лог-файл на приведённом выше скриншоте. Ну ок, давайте пойдём почитаем что там лог-файл думает о нашей ошибке.

Всё, что можно понять из этого лога, это то что компонент ставился-ставился, да что-то не поставился. Бывает, мол, чего уж там. Ну, спасибо большое за информацию!

Ладно, давайте зайдём с другой стороны. Team Explorer это (как и почти всё в современных версиях Visual Studio) — VSIX (компонент, расширение). Ставится отдельно от ядра студии специальной программой VSIXInstaller.exe, которая живёт в C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0Common7IDE и умеет при установке этих самых VSIX-компонентов писать во временную папку (ну, ту, которая %TEMP%) логи о том, как всё прошло. Идём в %TEMP%, находим по времени ошибки из лога выше файлик, соответствующий установке Team Explorer. Вот он:

Ну, тут уже побольше всякого интересного написано, конечно. Нас интересует первый момент, когда что-то пошло не так. Вот он:

26.11.2015 17:31:06 — System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for ‘VSIXInstaller.SupportedSKUs’ threw an exception. —> System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.14.0.dll’ or one of its dependencies. is not a valid Win32 application. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700C1)

Хм, произошла ошибка при попытке загрузить сборку Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.14.0.dll. Первой моей мыслью было то, что студия как-то запуталась в порядке установки своих компонентов и пытается использовать при установке что-то, что ещё не установилось куда надо. Так, есть у нас в системе такая библиотека?

Оказалось — есть. Лежит в GAC, там где ей и положено лежать:

Так, что же получается? Сборка есть, она находится там, где нужно, но не загружается. Может быть, битая? Берём IL DASM, загружаем — всё ок.

Может быть умельцы из Microsoft сумели написать такой инсталлятор, у которого иногда получается не найти сборку в GAC? Берём Process Monitor, добавляем в него фильтр на открытие файлов и снова запускаем инсталлятор студии. Доходим до ошибки, смотрим логи.

Так, инсталлятор ищет Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.14.0.dll и находит её ровно там, где она и должна быть — в GAC. Ок, что же не так?
Читаем ещё раз сообщение об ошибке: «System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.14.0.dll’ or one of its dependencies. is not a valid Win32 application.». Так, если сама Microsoft.VisualStudio.Settings.14.0.dll есть и валидна — может быть дело в одной из её зависимостей? Возвращаемся в Process Monitor и смотрим что там загружается непосредственно после нашей сборки.

Ага, vcruntime140.dll загружается. Это redistributable-библиотека от Visual Studio 2015. Ну, она-то точно должна была поставиться на одном из первых этапов установки! Но давайте проверим, чем уже чёрт не шутит.

Проверка раз — в списке установленных программ:

Проверка два — в папке C:WindowsSysWOW64:

Проверка три — это, собственно, «SUCCESSS» в логе Process Monitor:

Последняя проверка — вообще железобетонный аргумент: видите, поискали, попробовали открыть, открылось успешно — значит файл найдён. Всё, подозрения снимаются, идём дальше. Так, какую-же библиотеку инсталлятор VSIX пытается подгрузить следующей по логами Process Monitor?

Как это опять vcruntime140.dll уже в другой папке?! Получается, найдя vcruntime140.dll в папке C:WindowsSysWOW64 и успешно её открыв (а мы знаем что так и было по логам выше!) загрузчик зависимостей всё-же почему-то счёл её недостаточно хорошей и отбросил. Как же так?! Это что — не майкрософтовская библиотека? Смотрим свойства:

Да нет, нормальная библиотека. Почему же не загрузилась? Давайте посмотрим на неё внимательнее. Для этого в составе любой версии Visual Studio есть отличная утилита dumpbin. Запускаем её с вот такими ключами:

и смотрим на результаты:

Подождите-подождите… А почему это ты, библиотечка, 64-битная?! Ты же лежишь в папке C:windowsSysWOW64, где вообще-то место только 32-битным библиотекам! А ну-ка давайте посмотрим, что же тогда лежит в C:WindowsSystem32?

А то же самое (кто не верит в размер — можете проверить каким-нибудь WinMerge, они идентичны). Вы уже уловили, в чём суть? Ошибка закралась в инсталятор Redistributable-компонентов, входящий в инсталятор Visual Studio 2015 — он просто ставит 64-битные версии рантайм-библиотек и в папку для 64-битных библиотек (C:WindowsSystem32) и в папку для 32-битных (c:windowsSysWOW64). В итоге при дальнейшей попытке использования 64-битной версии всё будет ок, а вот при попытке загрузки 32-битной версии будет то, что мы увидели при установке Team Explorer — загадочные ошибки вообще без упоминания библиотеки vcruntime140.dll и Redistributable-пакета. И делай, что хочешь.

А что же мы хотим делать? А удалить x86-часть Redistributable-пакета Visual Studio 2015, скачать её отдельно с сайта Microsoft и переустановить. Сюрприз — на сайте Microsoft версия правильная, она установит 32-битную версию библиотеки в C:windowsSysWOW64, после чего можно перезапустить установку Visual Studio 2015 и она успешно дойдёт до конца!

Осталось как-то объяснить начальству почему это я целый день устанавливал Visual Studio, если с этим дети в третьем классе за час справляются. В общем-то ради этой цели и была написана данная статья, а уж зачем вы её прочли — я не знаю 🙂

Further investigation, during the ServiceDispatcher installation the logfile says :

File: C:Program FilesQlikSenseHybridDeploymentServiceappsettings.json; Won’t Overwrite; Won’t patch; Existing file is unversioned but modified.

Our current (Sept2018) appsetings.json file in this location doesn’t hold the node :

«LocalBearerToken»: {
«SigningAlgorithm»: «RS256»,
«Certificate»: «./server.pem»,
«PrivateKey»: «./server_key.pem»
}

The Powershell script that is executed during the installation IS updated as per the log :

File: C:Program FilesQlikSenseHybridDeploymentServiceConfigure-Service.ps1; Overwrite; Won’t patch; Existing file is unversioned and unmodified — hash doesn’t match source file

I unpacked all installation files from the SchedulerDispatcher.MSI and took a peek at the updated Configure-Service.ps1 script. In this script they try to set 2 variables based on an object (appsettings) created from the unmodified/not-overwritten appsettings.json file:

$appsettings.LocalBearerToken.Certificate = «$localCertificatesLocationserver.pem»
$appsettings.LocalBearerToken.PrivateKey = «$localCertificatesLocationserver_key.pem»

As this node doesn’t  exist in the not-updated appsettings.json file, the Powershell script returns the error in previous post, returning in the MSI returning an error code and the whole rollback starts.

This evening, before trying the upgrade for a 4th time, I will modify the appsettings.json file to hold this LocalBearerToken entry in the current appsettings.json file. This should cause the Configure-Service.ps1 script not to throw an error and hopefully finished the installation succesfully. I will post the outcome.
