Team Foundation Server Office® Integration 2017 install failed on win7sp1 64 bit.how to check? - tfs

My customer is installing Team Foundation Server Office® Integration 2017 tools on their isolated environment. for the similar environment, which is windows 7 sp1 64bit, some succeed, some failed. for the failed, An install window just flash before it disappears. how to check it? is there any place we can find the installation log file? thanks.
and where can I find the requirement document for Team Foundation Server Office® Integration 2017? does it require the similar environment as Visual studio 2017.

Try to log on to the TFS server with the setup user’s account and open the user’s temp folder. Typically this folder is C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp. And find TFS installation log file name should resemble “dd_tfs_{}_{}.log”.
In addition, you need to check Requirements and compatibility for TFS installation at website below:

Configuring TFS for SSIS packages

We are planning to do version control for our SSIS packages. I want to know how to install TFS and configure it to checkin SSIS packages.
I have read this SSIS TFS configuration. But here I couldn't find anything about installation. it contains only connection information TFS. Should I install from SSIS extensions? Should i install Team explorer? It is showing so many options as shown below.I don't know the right one. Also is installing this requires any license? Please guide me here. Any link with the steps is also fine.
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 and SQL Server 2012.
I want to know how to install TFS and configure it to checkin SSIS packages.
Refer to Install and configure Team Foundation Server and Integration Services (SSIS) and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server for details.
Should I install from SSIS extensions? Should i install Team explorer?
Yes, to design the SSIS packages you need to download and install SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools). It's an official addon for Visual Studio which adds templates for SSIS and SSAS projects. Refer to Download and install SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio for details.
And you need to install the Team Explorer to connect to TFS and manage the source control.
is installing this requires any license?
It's based on your VS subscription, you can try community version of Visual Studio, it's free.
Besides, find following blogs for your reference, hope that helps.

TFS on Visual Studio Mac

I have installed visual studio mac on my mac.
I have installed the tfs extension on visual studio mac.
I have connected to the tfs server in our server in office.
It successfully connected and it display the collection.
BUT it says it has 0 projects. there should be 4 projects in that collection.
User has admin permissions so it shouldnt be the case. Also it does show projects in tfs browser and vs in windows.
what would be the problem? thanks
Make sure you match the requirements:
Requirements :
Visual Studio Community, Professional, or Enterprise for Mac version
7.5 or later.
Visual Studio Team Services, or Team Foundation Server 2013 and later.
A Project in Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server, configured to use Team Foundation Version Control.
TFS Authentication:
To connect to TFS, enter the server details and your account
credentials. Enter a domain to use NTLM authentication, otherwise
leave blank to use basic authentication. Select Add Server:
And for your specific issue -- I do not see any / all of my projects :
After authenticating you should see the list of projects. By default,
only TFS projects to are shown. To see other types of projects, check
the "See all projects" box.
Keep in mind that projects that are on the server will not appear if
you don't have the correct privileges.
Please see Connecting to Team Foundation version control for details.
UPDATE:
Just try to uninstall the vs for mac, and install it again with the latest version, installed the latest extension. That should be work.

error tf31002 connecting vs2008 with tfs2010

I have the error tf31002 when i'm trying to add a team foundation server with vs2008. Errror says unable to connect to this Team Foundation Server.
I have installed all in the order that I have found out in the forum:
Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition.
Team Explorer 2008.
Installed Service Pack 1.
install the Visual Studio Team System
2008 Service Pack 1 Forward Compatibility Update for Team Foundation
Server 2010.
I have done that 3, or 4 times, and I still can not connect to a TFS 2010 server.
I'm working with a Windows 7 OS. I have readed all along different forums and I have tried a lot of things but nothing have worked.
Make sure you install the components in the order you listed.
Make sure you can access the TFS from Web Access.
Try to go to the TFS AT machine and connect it from VS to see whether you can connect it.
Make sure you are using the http://tfsserver:port/tfs/ProjectCollection url format.
If you use TFS server name in the URL, try to switch to TFS IP address. If you use IP address, try to switch to TFS server name.
Clean the Cache folder on your client computer. The folder path is: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\x.0\Cache.
Visual Studio/Team Explorer 2008 and Visual Studio 2005 are no longer
officially supported. To connect to the server, these clients must
interface through the MSSCCI provider instead. MSSCCI support only
includes support for source control integration and MSSCCI commands.
Check this site of TFS 2010 support notes for Visual Studio/Team
Explorer 2008:
Version control officially supported with MSSCCI provider. Version
control unofficially supported with SP1 and Compat GDR.

Installshield Limited Edition 2013 licencing on TFS 2012 build server

I am trying to build a project with build server and it keeps giving me the following error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\InstallShield\2013Limited\InstallShield.targets (108): -7159: The product license has expired or has not yet been initialized.
I have added the account used by Build in the build collection administrator group and project collection administrator group. I also activated installshield both through Visual Studio (creating new setup project) and then going in this location
c$\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield\2013LE\System\TSConfig.exe
I have VS 2010 (Shell), VS 2012 and VS2013 installed.
I have also added this user in the administrator group on that server. I have restarted the build server multiple times. I am not sure what else to try. Could anyone please help
Be ensure that the BuildService is not running with a local account such as "NT_AUTHORITY\Network Service". If so, please change it with a domain account and add the user account to the administrator group. Restart TFS build server machine, and re-queue the build.
In addition, please also have a check on this blog for the details on how to work with Installshield with TFS build:

Automated builds of BizTalk 2009 projects using Team System 2008 Build

I'm trying to configure automated build of BizTalk 2009 projects using Team Foundation Server 2008.
We have a staging server which has BizTalk 2009 installed. I ran the Team Foundation Server Build Setup on this server, and it can build non-BizTalk projects OK. However, BizTalk projects fail to build. I suspected something was amiss when "Deployment" was not a valid build type! I tried copying various things over from a developer PC which has BizTalk and Visual Studio 2008 installed, but still couldn't get it to work.
I don't really want to install Visual Studio on the staging server, but without it the "Developer Tools and SDK" option in the BizTalk install is greyed out. I guess I need this in order for BizTalk projects to compile.
So, my question is can a BizTalk 2009 server be used as a TFS build agent to build BizTalk projects without having Visual Studio installed. If the answer is no, what's the smallest part of VS that can be installed to get this to work?
Randal van Splunteren answered on MSDN:
There is a BizTalk installable feature called 'Project Build Component' (under 'Additional Software'). You can select/unselect it during installation of BizTalk. . . . It allows for builds without Visual Studio.
Be aware that you can only build stuff. For generating MSI packages you will need a BizTalk server (remote or on the build server itself).
