2 months ago @dsopscak Just to confirm, was it that installing Visual Studio failed because of a ProjFS package? You should be able to install Visual Studio Build Tools inside a Windows Server Core 2022 container. And I'd recommend doing this with 2022 as long-term support for 2019 has ended.

2 months ago We're trying to install several workloads using vs_enterprise.exe. Three of those, including the .net asp web and desktop workloads, appear to depend on ProjFS and the installation fails when trying to enable that feature. We're trying to quickly replicate the setup we're using on VM-based build agents. Looking ahead, we'll be creating more, finely tuned containers with the tools intended for headless use, but hoped to get something up quickly to use with an existing build process.

1 month ago I can't speak for ProjFS itself, but I'd guess it's looking for something in the OS that is not present. @dsopscak can you please provide the full error you are seeing? Also, have you tried this process with the server image versus the server core one?

We're looking into running Visual Studio based builds in a windows container. Several workloads depend on a testing component which depends on the windows feature "client-projfs". Our visual studio install fails on the servercore:ltsc2019 base image trying to enable that feature. I've seen indications that ProjFS is not supported on windows containers. Is this still the case? If so, is support for ProjFS anticipated any time soon?
