  @Erin, are these patches included in the Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1 RC2?

    Hi Scott,

    They are not in RC2, but will be in the final release. If you need a fix before the final release (expected next week), send me a mail at egeaney@microsoft.com.

    After our upgrade from TFS 2018 Update 2 to Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1 RC2 in PROD, we are seeing this error for some users “VS402647: Widget took too long to load”. Do you know when are the first set of patches be coming in for Azure DevOps Server 2019 Update 1 RC2 and hope that this issue has already been reported and fixed?

  I am about to upgrade our QA envoirnment from TFS2018 Update 3 to the latest.  Do I need to install 2019.0.1 first before this patch?  Or does this patch contain all the bits for the upgrade? Also I need to do an offline install of it and I am usign the following command to do so “azuredevopsserver2019.0.1.exe /Layout E:\Staging\DevOps201901” Will this work for the patch? And one last question is the the officall realease now?  or is this still a RC?

    Hi Craig,

    Yes, you need to install 2019.0.1 first. The patch only includes the files that changed, not the whole upgrade.

    To do an offline install, you can download the patch .exe file locally and install it offline. The patch is small, so the .exe includes everything and doesn’t need an internet connection to install.

  Is there a Microsoft resource for instructions on upgrading TFS 2017 from Update 1 to Update 3.1? Even if there are general instructions on the steps needed, that would be great.

    Hi Jon,

    Here are the upgrade instructions: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/server/upgrade/get-started?view=azure-devops.

    The upgrade from TFS 2017 Update 1 to Update 3.1 is fairly quick and has the same system requirements, so you don’t need to worry about upgrading the OS or SQL.

  Hi,
  I’m getting the below error when trying to install TFS 2017 3.1 Patch 7:
  Error patching files: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path ‘C:\Program Files\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 15.0\Application Tier\Web Services\bin\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.dll’ is denied.

    Hi Nichole,

    If you download the .exe file and run it from the command line as an administrator, do you get the same error?

      Yes, i do…though for updating TFS 2015 4.2 patch 2.  If you give all permissions to that folder or file, it will work, but then fails later trying to update the registry for the new version.

        I found out this is an issue that will be fixed in the next release. As a workaround, you should run “net stop TeamFoundationSshService” before installing the patch, then run “net start TeamFoundationSshService” after the patch is installed.

  Hello, we want to upgrade from TFS 2018 3.1 to TFS 2018 Update 3.2.6. So, the right path would be to update first to TFS 2018 Update 3.2 and then? Does patch 6 include all the other patches?
  Thank you.

    Yes, first upgrade to TFS 2018 Update 3.2 and then install Patch 6. Patch 6 includes all the previous patches.
