  Be aware, there have been two releases of ADS 2020 update 1.1.
  The first release had an installationbug, but some people managed to work arround the issue, but ended up with a lower buildnumer.
  Now patch 1 for ADS 2020 update 1.1 doesn’t install because of the lower buildnumber.

  IF you installed the first version of ADS 2020 update 1.1 and used the repair workaround to get it working, you won’t be able to install patch 1.
  To get around this isssue download ADS update 1.1 again as it has an updated buildnumber. Go through your normal update procedure. Afterwards patch 1 will install fine.

    Thanks Rene, I hit this exact issue, and the patch was refusing to install. Following your advice, it’s all sorted now 🙂

      Rene, any chance you could post the build numbers you are referencing? Might help us determine if we fall under your suggestion or not. We did not have issues installing Azure DevOps Server 2020 Update 1.1

      I’m running the RTW build as well and hit this bug. Is there any possibility of MS providing an updated version of the patch that handles this versioning issue instead of having to perform a repair install of the application to get to the point where the patch can be installed?

  @Gloridel Morales
  Do we have any plans about Azure DevOps Server 2021?

    Hi Nikita, do you mean Azure DevOps Server 2022? We plan to release the first release candidate of Azure DevOps Server 2022 at the end of this calendar year.

      @Gloridel Morales
      If you could post the system requirements for Azure DevOps Server 2022, that would be very helpful. I’m interested in learning the minimum versions of Windows Server OS and SQL Server.

        Hi Andy, system requirements should be the same as listed in the Requirements for Azure DevOps on-premises documentation.

          Thanks! So to be clear, you’re not anticipating any changes for 2022 from the minimum requirements of Azure DevOps Server 2020, correct?

          Just want to be certain- if I need to upgrade Windows Server OS or SQL Server versions, I need to notify my IT folks- and get this on their list of future work. Otherwise I can perform the upgrade myself… 🙂

    We’ve also run into this same issue. We did not have any problems installing Azure DevOps Server Update 1.1 as mentioned by Rene at the top

    Any suggestions Gloridel?

      Hi Andre, it seems like your install is being impacted by an issue after upgrading from 2020.1 patch 2 to 2020.1.1. The Azure DevOps Server 2020.1.1 blog post has more details.

        Thank Gloridel, I’ll try that in our test environment. Worth noting we didn’t actually install 2020.1 patch 2 as it was in 2020.1.1 we went directly from 2020.1 patch 1 to 2020.1.1 which isn’t mentioned in that blog post with the potential fix

    Hi Jens, there was an issue after upgrading from 2020.1 patch 2 to 2020.1.1 that may be impacting your patch install. Look at the updated post in the Azure DevOps Server 2020.1.1 blog post. Let me know if this helps with your install.

      Thank Gloridel.
      I had downloaded the mul_azure_devops_server_2020.1.1_x64_dvd_8889b518.iso at 2021-08-31. This version had your discribed bug.
      I downloaded the new version mul_azure_devops_server_2020.1.1_x64_dvd_b97c496e.iso and installed that, after this I can install the devops2020.1.1patch1.exe.
      So we are now on the latest stable version.

      thanks

  Hi Gloridel

  Can you share a little more information on “Resolve issue with inconsistent Test Results data” so that we can determine if it deems us to install this patch?

  Thank you in advance.

    Hi Tore, there was an issue displaying test result data with SOAP API apps. When the data was fetched using the app, the attachment linked to the test run was displayed twice.

      Thank you.

      I was hoping that it might be related to the below issue that we are facing but that does not seem to be the case.

  Hi Gloridel,
  Patches are allways cumulative, right? So 2020.0.1 patch 1 can be directly upgraded to 2020.0.1 patch 6?

    Hi Twan
    Yes, they are cumulative.
