VS2013 FIPS Error
-
I started a new WPF app, and when I compile it, I get this error in the XAML files.
Unknown build error, 'This implementation is not part of the Windows Platform FIPS validated cryptographic algorithms.
I'm on a DoD system, so I don't think I'll be able to disable FIPS, so how do I fix it?

You can never have too much ammo - unless you're swimming, or on fire. - JSOP, 2010

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013 -

msbuild.exe.configfile, or get someone to do it for you?Can't build a wpf project on a FIPS enabled system[^]:
You should add the same entry, namely
<enforceFIPSPolicy enabled="false"/>
to the config file for msbuild; typically that's found at
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v4.0.30319\msbuild.exe.config

I think I read that this doesn't work for VS2013.

C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\12.0\Bin; I've also got a copy under14.0\Bin. Failing that, check Task Manager (if you're allowed to!) to find the path of the runningMSBuild.exeprocess, and look for the config file there.

DoD system. The FIPS setting is part of the group policy. I don't have admin rights, so I can't do it, but I don't think even the admins can change it. I'm waiting on an answer... The weird thing is that console and Winform apps don't do this, and I can run existing WPF apps without an issue...

With the config file change, you should be able to disable the FIPS policy checking for msbuild, without affecting the rest of the computer. Hopefully that should make it easier to get past the security goons. :)
