Start-Process : This command cannot be executed due to the error: The directory
Posted by Gary Powell-Jones on April 8, 2011
We make great use of automated installations for SharePoint. We used AutoSPInstaller as the basis for our installation tools (albeit extended and customised to suit our needs)
An error apeared today in a quick installation….
Start-Process : This command cannot be executed due to the error:The directory name is invalid.At

Hyper-V VM stuck on starting (10%)
Posted by itwyatt on April 4, 2011
We had some VMs stuck on starting today. There were no error messages and they wouldn’t shift no matter what we tried. It eventually turned out that they had ISOs inserted to the optical drive from a network source that was not responding properly. The solution was easy – remove the ISO media and they all booted nicely. We’re working on resolving the network source.
Moral for today – remove ISOs after use in a VM.
