Hi, 
 
Tried to update the Dev vm from version .39 to .44, got the below error,
Error in step 27: Update script for service model: DevToolsService on machine: DevVM
bec of this error VS is not working - AOT objects and projects are not opening got the below error
 
 
tried all the solutions given in community but still the error is not solved,
Solution 1:
  • Go to Service Drive, on the cloud deployments it is k:\
  • Go into Deployable Packages Folder and Find the Package that failed, you can find it using date/time sorting.
  • Find the DevToolsService Scripts and there is a PowerShell Script named as AutoUpdateDevToolsService
  • Run this script manually and resume the update from the LCS.
Solution 2:
VSIX Installer
 
anyone have solution for this?

    Remember facing it in the past.
    What's the outcome of running the PS script ? Did it all go fine?  I would normally run the PS in parts/chunks to understand, what it is doing at every step and verify the outcome.

    Hi Saran,
     
    Have you checked the error logs from the deployment about why it might fail? Note that your original version was quite old. Does this VM already have Visual Studio 2022 installed? If you keep having issues, the most easy would be deploying a new VM, connect to DevOps, get latest and continue. You might want to backup the database from this environment to be restored in the new VM.

    Hi Saran,
     
    The error is mentioning that an extension is missing. As mentioned you are updating a very old environment. It will be most likely quicker to deploy a new VM instead of trying to solve the current failure.

    @Saran S using the latest deployment/update packages to update F&O on the VM also requires updating Visual Studio to version 2022 as well. But, that includes the add-in for F&O as well. Open Visual Studio 2022 on the VM, install the F&O add-in manually and then retry the update package.

    Hi Saran,
     
    One recommendation before a next update. Ensure you check in or shelf your changes before installing an update. 
     
    You can copy the package directories of your models. After getting latest on a new VM, you can then overwrite the file contents as workaround. 
    You can then first deploy a new VM and after it is working, delete the old one.
