I have problem on deploying the process in designer after upgrading to SR1. I already use Windows Vista Business Edition with SP2.

Any other solution for this?

here is the event log from the error:

Fatal -> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Metastorm.Deployment.Core.DeploymentService.DoDeploy(IEntity rootEntity, IEnumerable`1 entities) at Metastorm.Deployment.Core.DeploymentService.Deploy(IEntity root, IEnumerable`1 entities) -> 8/4/2010 3:19:25 AM

Thanks,

Andri

Hello Andri,

I suspect the problem you are seeing is with a file contained in the Deployment folder.

Please navigate to your installation folder, normally, C:\Program Files\Metastorm\BPM\Deployment.

The file in question is Metastorm.Deployment.Core.addin.
(Before making any changes please ensure the deployment service is stopped)

Open this file in notepad.

Ensure that the following section looks like this;

We have noticed in some instances, where the last line in the section is missing and can cuase the failure you are seeing.

Once you make the changes, restart the deployment service.

Try to deploy a simple proces.

Best Regards,

Hi Vijay,

Thanks for the workaround. We already solve the problem by installing MBPM SR2.

Regards,

Removing this update resolved my issue also when both the Deployment Service and Process Engine did not startup.
