Most common again - Sitecore 10.2 when running on a diff machine MSBuild: Could not locate executable.

 I got the solution from a VM and started running on my local machine and got the below error, it's the most common error and to fix it basically we need to set the correct path into the build-config file

  "MSBuildPath": "C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2022\\Community\\MSBuild\\Current\\Bin\\msbuild.exe",

Diff system has diff VS version installed so make sure that the script has the correct path from your installed VS version

Fix for Sitecore XP and commerce- The password for the account has expired.

Recently, We got this issue on one of the VM where we had Sitecore XP, and Sitecore XC installed.

After a quick investigation, were able to resolve it, here are the details for the quick fix.

The issue was because we had recently updated the password for a local user XX which we used to connect with the local machine with the VM services.

After resetting the password and grating the permission, We were able to resolve this issue.

Easy fix :)

Fix for Sitecore XP and commerce- Sitecore Experience Commerce - Shop CommerceEngineDefaultStorefront does not exist

I recently found this error while browsing the Sitecore commerce catalog item. After a quick investigation, I was able to fix it; below are the quick steps.


Make sure under this commerce settings - you have the same store name which had configured in the site group settings.

/sitecore/Commerce/Commerce Control Panel/Storefront Settings/Storefronts

Under this, the item name (Storefront name) should match with one of the site grouping name here.

Easy fix  :)
