Hopefully this is a FAQ in some place that I've missed... I have an XP machine set up for doing builds via ssh. This works fine with one problem: when ssh is started normally as a service, there's some obscure Visual Studio problem (it complains about some misconfiguration). To solve it, I always kill sshd and start it from a bash shell on the machine. It's tedious but not too much since the machine is rarely rebooted. (I also have a monitor for this: it uses ssh to log to the machine and then looks for sshd in the ps output.)
But now I'm trying to set up a Windows 7 build machine, and things get more complicated in a way that I think is related to the above. The first thing that fails (after I start sshd as myself, similarly to the XP box) is running the vcvarsall.bat in the devstudio directory -- that fails with a "Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder", which I tracked down to uses of some `reg' command that fail. The thing is that it works fine when running on a bash shell on the machine, but fails through ssh.
