Hi Hongye,

Once I used your script, both problems were solved. Thanks for your help!

Hi Chris,

You are welcome to Microsoft Newsgroup Service. My name is Hongye Sun and
it is my pleasure to work with you on this issue.

In this post, we have two issues.
1. How to pass environment variables to Visual Studio
2. Why Visual Studio crashes or hangs when opening Test View window

For the #1 issue, there is another piece of vbscript, which has been tested
successfully in our lab.
-------------------------
set oShell=createobject("WScript.Shell")
set envSystem = oshell.Environment("process")
var = "UnitTestingValues"
envSystem.item(var) = "C:\Utils\MyDir\UnitTestingValues.xml"
oShell.Run """C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe""", , True
-------------------------

The vbscript you provided cannot pass environment variable to process. The
reason is
-------------------------
objConfig.EnvironmentVariables("UnitTestingValues") =
"C:\Utils\MyDir\UnitTestingValues.xml"
-------------------------
Since EnvironmentVariables is a string array, and VBScript syntax doesn't
allow set a variable by this way. Instead, we should use
-------------------------
objConfig.EnvironmentVariables =
Array("UnitTestingValues=C:\Utils\MyDir\UnitTestingValues.xml")
-------------------------
However, in this way, all the other environment variables will be missed.

For the #2 issue, can you do some simple tests to help us narrow down the
problem.

1. Try the script in solution to #1 issue. It may fix the #2 issue as well.

2. If step 1 still fails, change the "UnitTestingValues" to the path as
same as system environment variable.

3. If step 2 still fails, run the script again, create a new test project
and view Test View window again.

4. Delete system environment variable "UnitTestingValues", and open Visual
Studio directly. Check if it crashes again.

If all the above steps not working, can you specify "/log" option after
devenv.exe command. The script will be:
-------------------------
oShell.Run """C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio
9.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe /log""", , True
-------------------------
It saves Visual Studio tracing info into
"%AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0\ActivityLog.xml". Please check the
xml file after Visual Studio crashes.

In addition, it will be very helpful if you can build a small reproduce
project and send it to us hongyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.'.
We will take a deep look of it in our lab.

Please try the actions above and let us know the test results. In the
meanwhile, we will still perform research in our lab to check any other
possibilities of the crash issue.

Hongye Sun (hongyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
