Change Wix Product version number using NANT XmlPoke - build

I ran into this issue recently - when I try to replace the Wix Product version number using NANT XMLPOKE task, it returns the following error message "No matching nodes found".
<xmlpoke file="..\Setup\abc.wxs" xpath="//Wix/Product[#Version]" value="${version.label}" >
Initially I thought that this was an issue with XPATH statement that I wrote. So I kept trying with different XPATH (like \Wix) and I kept getting the same message back.
Understood from a blog that this is happening due to the namespace definition with the WiX element. Please find below the solution, in case someone doesn't find the blog.

The issue happens because of the namespace definition within the Wix element. You have to add the below changes to get the XMLPOKE working:
<xmlpoke file="..\Setup\abc.wxs" xpath="//wx:Wix/wx:Product/#Version" value="${version.label}" >
<namespaces>
<namespace prefix="wx" uri="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/wi" />
</namespaces>
</xmlpoke>

service element missing for the invoke element in deploy.xml

I recently started learning WSO to provide a open source option for BPM customers.
I however am stuck. I followed the BPEL Guide and still getting the same error. It fails to deploy the Process for the reason "service element missing for the invoke element in deploy.xml" Can anyone please provide some assistance.
I followed each step very carefully and even retried all the steps 4 times.
The error should be the same as you have declared - "service element missing for the invoke element in deploy.xml". Just check the deploy.xml file related to your bpel process. In there is there a element with a related value in the element in element? It should be missing there, while in the configuration steps. It should be in the following format.
<process name="EnrollmentProcess:EnrollmentProcess">
...
.....
<invoke partnerLink="EPL">
<service name="EnrollmentService:EnrollmentService" port="EnrollmentServiceSOAP"/>
</invoke>
...
....
</process>
You could delete the invoke tag in the deploy.xml:
...
<invoke partnerLink="client" />
...
That worked on me.

Weblog comment error

I am using Weblog for blog functionality. Now I am facing one problem. I have created one Entry with name like 'sitecore-mvc', now when I am going to submit a comments it is giving me error 'End of string expected at position 39' if I changed Entry name like 'sitecoremvc' it works fine. There is some problem when I use '-' in Entry name. Any how I want to use '-' in url. Please give me solution.
If you look at the issues in GitHub for Weblog this is a known issue.
See this link for a solution:
https://github.com/WeTeam/WeBlog/issues/52
You should be able to swap out the DuplicateSubmissionGuard pipeline processor to a custom implementation that escapes hyphen characters in the path.

Umbraco error in Document Types

A long time ago I first setup a website in Umbraco. This seemed to be working fine.
I have now come back to it about a year later, and was initially getting the following error when selecting a Document Type (any document type in the Settings tab):
A bit weird, because earlier I didn't have this issue, but fine. I do what it says, and add <identity impersonate="true"/> to the <system.web> node in web.config.
While it does fix the initial issue, I now have the following on all document types:
When trying to create a new Document Type, I get the same kind of error, but then the ReturnUrl part is ReturnUrl=/umbraco/create.aspx?nodeId=init&nodeType=inittemplates&nodeName=Templates&rnd=20.2&rndo=21.2&nodeId=init&nodeType=inittemplates&nodeName=Templates&rnd=20.2&rndo=21.2' - but only if I tick the box 'Create template for this item'. The same happens when I try and create a Template.
After Googleing I came up with this: our.umbraco post with similar issue. One (unconfirmed) solution is that there's an illegal name in a document type/ template - but I haven't changed anything, and might be fixed by going into the database.
I did check the /masterpages folder, the only 'strange' characters in there are - and _.
In my Document Types I have on named 'Textpage (Two col)' and another named 'News & Events list'. I'm a bit hesitant to just delete them, since I don't have enough Umbraco knoledge to be sure this will fix my issue...
Is there any known solution for this, or will I also have to go into the database (and if so, whereabouts?)
I'm running Umbraco 4.7.2, assembly version 1.0.4500.21031.
I've hosted this site with GoDaddy.com - I don't know if that would be relevant.
[Update 1]
As per Tom Maton's comment:
The requirepermissions should be set to false, and have been.
in Appsettings I've set this:
<add key="umbracoUseMediumTrust" value="true" />
And I've added Trusted_Connection=yes to the connectionstring.
the problem remains.
[Update 2]
Tried the solution amelvin provided, but no dice. Doctypes and templates still give the error. I'm getting more certain it's some security issues. Which folder would correspond to the Templates? Would that be the masterpages folder? If so, what kind of permissions does that one need?
It could be that you don't have full trust on your Go Daddy environment?
Check this post out http://our.umbraco.org/forum/getting-started/installing-umbraco/17856-Umbraco-on-GoDaddy-Shared-Hosting
Could help resolve your issue.
The error could be a knock on from permissions errors as yet unsolved.
But the error is thrown if the content page does not have a template assigned or if Umbraco thinks it doesn't have a template. If absolutely nothing has changed to the site then it could be that the umbraco.config file has somehow got corrupted (it will contain all the doctype/template cross reference info). This can be fixed by right clicking on the top 'content' node and choose 'republish entire website'.
Secondly navigate to the settings | document types (if you can now) and check the templates dropdown on the first tab of the appropriate document type. If its set to 'please select' then this error will get thrown when any page tries to render without a valid template assigned. If a default template is assigned - then go to that template and re-publish it - Umbraco may have lost it.
If this does not work then check if the template is assigned properly. Go to the same place in the content tree as the problem page and try to add a node with the desired doctype. If no choices are offered then it could be that the parent tab no longer allows the correct doctypes as children nodes, so go back to the doctypes and check the allowed children (second tab) of the parent node.
If none of this works without odd errors being thrown then its a mystery!
Here are a list of Permissions required for Umbraco http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions
Or you could use one of the steps below to check all the folder permissions.
http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions/perform-permissions-check
Or install this package. http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/ugolive this will allow you to check the permissions are correctly setup.

Merging a resource from another Assembly in Silverlight

I added a Resource Dictionary named ResourceDictionary1 to my silverlight project.
I also added a Silverlight Class Library to my project named OtherAssembly, then in this new assembly I added a new Resource Dictionary named ResourceDictionary2:
In my original project I'm trying to merge both dictionaries in MainPage.xaml:
<ResourceDictionary>
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
<ResourceDictionary Source="MyResourceDictionary1.xaml" />
<ResourceDictionary Source="/OtherAssembly;component/MyResourceDictionary2.xaml" />
</ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
When I run the project the line with OtherAssembly throws an exception, saying that there's an error assigning the property System.Windows.ResourceDictionary.Source in that line:
But at design time, the designer shows everything in order, it finds all the resources.
I don't know, It seems that the Pack Uri syntax is not well formed.
Anybody knows why I get this error message?
I found the answer.
I needed to add a reference to OtherAssembly, as the error is not detected until run time, it's hard to detect it.

Sitecore Workbox Generating Odd Error

I've run into a problem in the Wokbox that seems like a Sitecore bug. When the "Items per Page" drop down is set to anything but "All", I'm able to expand the "Draft" and "Awaiting Approval" lists in the Workflow.
But when the "Items per Page" is set to "All", I get the following error:
Exception in MyWebSite: /sitecore/shell/default.aspx?xmlcontrol=Workbox&mo=preview
Message: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object.
StackTrace: at System.Web.HttpValueCollection.FillFromEncodedBytes(Byte[] bytes, Encoding encoding)
at System.Web.HttpRequest.FillInFormCollection()
And at this point, I'm "stuck" - and unable to revert my view back to anything less than "All" in the "Items per Page" drop-down. So, because I cannot revert back, I cannot do anything on the page, and any attempt to expand the Workflow lists (or do anything on the page) generates the above error.
Any thoughts on what is happening and how to fix this?
I followed up on this to keep from leaving this question unanswered. It turns out that this issue was related to another known issue. For the benefit of those who might be getting a similar issue, here's what fixed this:
The problem can occur when Sitecore CMS is installed on systems that have Microsoft security update MS11-100 installed.
Please refer to the similar known issue on SDN:
The Template Builder may fail when saving templates with many fields
The solution:
Try to add the following node to the section of the web.config file:
<add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="5000" />
