Sharing the knowledge. Need to install Altium Infrastructure Server v1.0.1.61 onto Windows 10. Followed the Altium Infrastructure Server  documentation  and when I attempted to log into the web interface I got an error dialog: Something went wrong. The type initializer for 'ExtentPlaceholderCreator' threw an exception. To fix this changed the web.config in both the IDS and EDS directory. Look for the <runtime> section below <runtime> <assemblyBinding xmlns=“urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1”> Add the following <dependentAssembly> <assemblyIdentity name=“Microsoft.SqlServer.Types” publicKeyToken=“89845dcd8080cc91” /> <bindingRedirect oldVersion=“1.0.0.0-11.0.0.0" newVersion=“10.0.0.0” /> </dependentAssembly> This resolved the problem for me.

I need to have a git repository hosted on a Windows Server. Go figure this would be simple to do.  It was a political struggle to get git installed in my work environment. Installing out of the box solutions like scm-manager  is not going to happen. Here is the solution I cobbled together from multiple sources on the Internet. On my workstation $ git clone --bare chrome-app.git clone-chrome-app.git Copy  clone-chrome-app.git to the Windows Server  On the Windows Server  $ cd /path/to/chrome-app.git $ git init --bare --shared On the Windows Server $ cd /path/to/chrome-app.git $ git daemon --base-path=. --export-all --reuseaddr --informative-errors —verbose --enable=receive-pack   Back on my workstation $ git ls-remote git://IP.of.Windows.Server/chrome-app $ git remote add windows  git://IP.of.Windows.Server/chrome-app.git
