Alternatives to using the #error directive to check whether the compiler even sees you

In response to my description of how you can use the #error directive to check whether the compiler even sees you , some commenters proposed alternatives. I never claimed that my technique was the only one, just that it was another option available to you. Here are some other options

Project Server 2007: PWA Provisioning issue after February CU – Cannot insert duplicate key row

The full error is Cannot insert duplicate key row in object ‘dbo.Objects’ with unique index ‘IX_Objects_ClassId_ParentId_Name’, and this occurs when trying to provision a new PWA site in a farm.  Some background first, and then the workaround.  In the February CU we added a fix for the “waiting for resources” problems customers had run into when trying to provision new PWA sites.  This was caused by a missing timer job.  The fix checked for the timer job, and if it wasn’t found it was created – which for most of our customers was a perfect fix. However, for customers running multiple language versions (MUIs), or even just non US English versions it could fail to detect the timer job and think it was missing and try to re-create it – which led to the error! My colleague Aik had been working on this problem and had a couple of workarounds we’d shared with customers and these turned up back in my blog comments a couple of days ago (Thanks Jose!) – so I thought the time was right for a full posting.  So here are the workarounds – with option #1 being the favored one as it has the least impact on the users of the server: Option #1 – Delete sync jobs before provisioning site To delete a timer definition job, find the Job ID by going to the Sharepoint Central Administration site | Operations | Timer Job Definitions Look for the Project Server sync jobs and right click on the links and select Copy Link – the default names for the jobs (in English) will be something like Project Server Synchronizing job for ‘SharedServices1’. Paste the link into Notepad and the link will look something like this: :/_admin/JobEdit.aspx?JobId=57b935d4%2Db43f%2D4dc4%2Dbd9c%2Dc74bb000b9c6">http://<servername>:<Central Admin Port>/_admin/JobEdit.aspx?JobId=57b935d4%2Db43f%2D4dc4%2Dbd9c%2Dc74bb000b9c6 Copy out just the JobId section and replace the text "%2D" with a dash e.g – Once you are done your GUID should look like the following based on the example above: 57b935d4-b43f-4dc4-bd9c-c74bb000b9c6 Run the following command with the jobID

Possible workaround for RGB9RAST install failure when deploying the .NET Framework 3.0 or 3.5

I have heard from a few folks recently (such as this blog comment and this forum post ) who have run into troubles installing the RGB9RAST component that is a prerequisite for the .NET Framework 3.0, 3.0 SP1, 3.5 and 3.5 SP1 on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.  There is a specific issue in the RGB9RAST .msi that can cause it to fail in some specific conditions, and I wanted to describe how to diagnose and work around this issue in case anyone else runs into a similar error in the future. How to diagnose this issue If you are encountering this particular RGB9RAST installation issue, you will see an error message like the following by searching for the string return value 3 in the verbose .msi log file for the RGB9RAST component (located at %temp%dd_rgb9rast*.txt): MSI (s) (6C:D0) [10:41:11:075]: Product: RGB9RAST — The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package.
