Sandboxed Code Host Service was too busy to handle the request

I had really hard time fixing deployment issues for Sandboxed solutions when I had a Feature Event Receiver class added in my solution for a very simple, basic feature.

Firstly, I found that deploying from Visual Studio only gave me unfriendly error message: “The Sandboxed code execution request failed” at the time of feature activation. After some searching, it suggested that my dev environment may have permissions issue for the service account under which my Sandbox Code Host Service was running. I tried to fix, but couldn’t get it working.

I rebuild my dev VM and then I again configured my Farm. When I reached to the point where I can deploy my Sandboxed Solution again, it gave me this error message:

The sandboxed code execution request was refused because the Sandboxed Code Host Service was too busy to handle the request

I came across this article written by Chris Zhong Error: “The sandboxed code execution request was refused because the Sandboxed Code Host Service was too busy to handle the request”

Following the suggested steps in that article, it fixed my problem.

SP2010 PreRequisites Installation

In process of getting SharePoint 2010 installed on my VM, I needed to install PreRequisites.

Given that my VM is not connected to the internet. I needed to download some Pre requisites that are required by SharePoint 2010.

From http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx , I required to download following Pre Requisites:

• Microsoft Chart Controls for the MS .NET Framework 3.5
• Windows Identity Foundation for Windows Server 2008 R2
• Hotfix for MS Windows KB976462 for Win 2008 R2
• MS Sync Framework v1.0
• MS Office 2010 Filter Packs
• MS Server Speech Platform
• Speech recognition language for English
• MS SQL Server 2008 Analysis Services ADOMD.NET

My VM already had MS SQL 2008 R2 installed.

I copied these pre requisites on to my VM and saved following arguments in PrerequisiteInstaller.Arguments.txt file. This file is then saved in the same folder as my SharePoint installation files exists.
