It has always been a clean build process till today. Checked in some source files, ran Hudson and I get these additional compiler errors:

[exec] (ResolveKeySource target) ->
[exec] C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(1805,7): error MSB4018: The “ResolveKeySource” task failed unexpectedly.
[exec] C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(1805,7): error MSB4018: System.InvalidOperationException: Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation.

It does not seem to affect output as I can deploy assemblies without incident. However, I need to restore sanitary state of build output. Any ideas what could have possibly changed? This is with Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5.

TIA.

    Your build process is trying to prompt you for a password, possibly for a certificate or .pfx that is being used to sign your assemblies.

    Since Hudson is running as a system service, it is now allowed to interact with the desktop and display a modal dialog.

    To resolve this, configure Hudson to run as a user account (under the Services configuration) and install the certificate into the Local Store for that account.
