Cannot update local workspace in TFS 2012RC due to UAC
Whilst preparing the demos for my TFS 2012 ALM session on Wednesday (still places available of you are in the Yorkshire area), I got the following error whey trying to add a new solution of sample code to TFS
Access to the path 'C:\ProgramData\Microsoft Team Foundation Local Workspaces\043519e4-72cf-4cd0-a711-f4bb8b817f30\TYPHOON;432cfb95-26d6-4a68-af26-b102c950a90d\properties.tf1' is denied.
It seems that the ..\04535… folder had been created when I was running VS2012 using ‘run as administrator’. When I tried to browse it I was prompted for UAC elevated privileges. So if I was not running VS2012 as administrator I could not access the folder. For me the solution was to just delete the folder and let VS/TFS recreate it. I had no checked out files so it did not matter. Once done all was OK
One to key an eye on
