Always fun returning to an old BizTalk Server solution I worked on before! Today, while modifying an existing solution for the first time in 3 years! – You have to love BizTalk Server for that consistency and reliability that is difficult to find in any other platform or service! – I got a weird issue while trying to rebuild the solution:
The operation could not be completed. The parameter is incorrect.
with no more details! which is always lovely!
📝 One-Minute Brief
Rebuilding BizTalk solutions in Visual Studio can fail with the error “The operation could not be completed. The parameter is incorrect.” This article explains why this issue occurs and shows a simple workaround that resolves the build problem quickly.
Cause
It has been a constant these days, but that is honestly true: I don’t know exactly the reason why. And the solutions describing this type of issue are not consistent and range from restarting Visual Studio, and deleting files, to restarting the machine!
But my feeling is that it is more related to Visual Studio security execution permissions and user permissions.
Solution
To resolve this issue, run Visual Studio as an administrator. To do that, you need:
- Select the Start button, and then in the Search box, type Visual Studio.
- Next, right-click either Visual Studio <version>, and then select More > Run as administrator.
Open your BizTalk Visual Studio Solution and try to build it. It worked for me!
- Build started…
- Build succeeded
