Tracker Response files not found (Tracker.exe)

Few Days Back while building one of the project we were getting below error continuously.


On looking in to msdn we finally got the workaround solution for this issue.








Solution:
Edit the build definition (Team Explorer => solution => builds => (select your build definition) right click Edit Build Definition => Process (on left) => 3. Advanced => under MSBuild Arguments paste the following:

/p:TrackFileAccess=false

from http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/tfsbuild/thread/baf16a4b-c25d-4722-a844-6276344b0db2

Here are words from MSBuild Developer from Microsoft.

The trigger for the error is that the GenerateResource task must be run during the build in such a way that we embed FileTracker (a tool we have been using for up-to-date check) in the process itself -- when targeting 4.0, when targeting 3.5 on a 32-bit machine, or when targeting 3.5 on a 64-bit machine when running 64-bit MSBuild.

To work around the error, you can either set TrackFileAccess=false, as has already been observed, or if you're on a 64-bit machine and targeting 3.5 exclusively, the error should also go away if you start using 32-bit MSBuild instead.

TrackFileAccess=false works around the error by turning off the use of FileTracker; the downside is that that means the you will no longer be able to use FileTracker-based up-to-date check, so your VS 2010 C++ projects and your GenerateResource task invocations will now always build, even when there have been no changes -- the latter generally causing a cascading rebuild for the managed compilers as well, since they consume the .resources files.

NetTcpPortSharing service: failed to start the service

Few Days back when I was running and build, it started throwing an exception as:
The TransportManager failed to listen on the supplied URI using the NetTcpPortSharing service: failed to start the service because it is disabled.
An administrator can enable it by running 'sc.exe config NetTcpPortSharing start= demand'..
---> System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot start service NetTcpPortSharing on computer '.'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.
Solution
To enabled, run the following command in console windows as mention in the error log
sc.exe config NetTcpPortSharing start= demand

 



To disable it, run the following command in a console window.
sc.exe config NetTcpPortSharing start= disabled


And after that run you build once again. I'm sure it would not throw any error next time.
