FCIV Hash utility

[gant]

Hi All,

I'm a Release Engineer responsible for implementing VSTS and TFS 2005 into our development environment.

I am having an issue with the Microsoft's FCIV checksum utility. I am using it to create checksums across multiple servers for our proprietary software. When I create the FCIV XML database 3 out of the 4 servers matched. The one that didn't match created the database with a different sort order of the files being hashed. Alphabetical versus descending time stamps through multiple subdirectories. When trying to compare the 2 XML databases, the hash keys were the same but the order of the keys made the database compare useless.

Would like to know if anyone has come across this and if they have a solution.

Thanks in advance.

I am moving this question to the XML forum. If they can't help you they may be able to move this to a more appropriate forum.

What do you mean by XML database?
I suppose that this is an XML file.

What is the difference between the 2 XML ?
Please post the XML data too.
