A System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException exception is thrown when you deploy a SharePoint solution on a SharePoint Web server that is running the .NET Framework 2.0 SP2

Article ID: 971521 - View products that this article applies to.

SYMPTOMS

Consider the following two scenarios in the .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2):

You perform solution deployment operations on a SharePoint Web server. Solution deployment operations include the Deploy Solution operation, the Upgrade Solution operation, and the Retract Solution operation.
You run a .NET Framework remoting client application that uses inter-process communication (IPC) channels. For example, the application that you are running is an ASP.NET Web application or a Web service.

In either of these scenarios, you receive a System.Runtime.Remoting.RemotingException exception. Additionally, you receive one of the following error messages:

Failed to connect to an IPC Port: The system cannot find the file specified.
Port is Busy: All pipe instances are busy.

In the SharePoint trace log, you see an error that indicates a failed deployment together with the following error message:

This operation uses the SharePoint Administration service (spadmin), which could not be contacted. If the service is stopped or disabled, start it and try the operation again.
