AL.exe was not found - Visual Studio 2008

Task failed because "AL.exe" was not found, or the correct Microsoft Windows SDK is not installed. The task is looking for "AL.exe" in the "bin" subdirectory beneath the location specified in the InstallationFolder value of the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A. You may be able to solve the problem by doing one of the following: 1) Install the Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5. 2) Install Visual Studio 2008. 3) Man

I got these two errors after deploying my ASP.Net applications and web services on new testing/production server. I would like to share how I managed to fix them. see details below:

1- Could not load file or assembly XXXXXXXXXX or one of its dependencies. There is not enough space on the disk. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070070)

Fix:
Request form server admins to remove the size quote limitation on the APP Pools users used for those Asp.Net applications.

Anther related error:
2- access to the path 'C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\expression_host_b55b5ad1bd91405fa6aa96183dd6400e.dll' is denied.
Fix
Gives your APP Pools users (IIS_WPG group) modify access to c:\WINDOWS\TEMP or TMP
OR
Move Temp/TMP folder to anther drive .see details below:
CAUSE

The system TEMP and TMP variables point to a folder that does not exist. The compiler generates temporary files in the folder where the TEMP and the TMP variables point to before the files are copied to the Temporary ASP.NET Files folder. However, the folder where the system variables point to is deleted when you restart the computer. Therefore, the compiler cannot generate the temporary files.

RESOLUTION

1. Create a temporary folder under %Systemroot%, and then name it Temp.

2. Grant full permissions on the Temp folder to the aspnet user account in .NET Framework 1.0 or to the NETWORK SERVICE user account in .NET Framework 1.1.

3. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

4. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.

5. Select the TEMP variable under System variables, and then click Edit.

6. Type %SystemRoot%\TEMP in the Variable Value box, and then click OK.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to edit the TMP variable. Click OK two times.

8. Click Start, and then click Run.

9. To reset Internet Information Services (IIS), type iisreset on the command prompt.

Note If the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section of this article persists, restart the computer.

TFS source code control with Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET 2003

Can we use TFS’s source code control with Visual Studio 6.0 and Visual Studio .NET 2003 clients? Yes we can use the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server with products that do not support Team Explorer integration. By using:

Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider
Brief Description:
Enables integrated use of Team Foundation Version Control with products that do not support Team Explorer integration.
