  Hi,

  I setup a TFS Build Agent running within a Docker container and the build fails with following error message.

  Source\System\Hmd.System\Hmd.System\Properties\licenses.licx (1, 0)
  Source\System\Hmd.System\Hmd.System\Properties\licenses.licx(1,0): Error LC0004: Exception occurred creating type 'C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGrid, C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.2, Version=2.6.20061.250, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79882d576c6336da' System.InvalidOperationException: Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.[img]https://gccontent.blob.core.windows.net/forum-uploads/file-80ab169a-b574-4df8-aeab-7fc70cf263f6.png[/img]
  

  I attached a Screenshot of the TFS Build Configuration in which I register and un-register the C1 license on the fly.

  Any idea why the build fails?

  I validate the Build configuration against a TFS Build agent running within a “normal” HyperV VM. There it works fine. Is there something to do additionally within a docker container?

  I’m would be grateful for any help!

  Hello,

  Assuming that ComponentOne is installed on your server machine, we want you to check a few points:

  1. The C1 studio on the server should be licensed.
  2. Set the build action on your license.licx to None.
  3. Ensure that the specific dll is added under References i.e. C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.dll
  4. In your licenses.licx file, please remove the strong name, i.e. change

  C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGrid, C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.2, Version=2.6.20061.250, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=79882d576c6336da
  

  to

  C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.C1FlexGrid, C1.Win.C1FlexGrid.2
  
  

  Rebuild the application and check if the issue persists. Though we have not checked the scenario on Docker Container, the error should be resolved with the above suggestions.

  Best Regards,
  
  Esha

  Hi,
  
  I made some further investigation and set up a TFS Build agent on a desktopless server2016 OS.

  During the build within lc.exe run (build output see below) there showed up a dialog “Warning. You have no printer installed which can be used for measuring layout of document…” (see screenshot) this could be the reason of the ERROR documented above. How can I disable this?

  Hi,

  I solved the Problem with pumping this key to registry to suppress the dialog

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ComponentOne\C1PrintDocument\DisableNoPrintersWarning]
  
  @=“1”
