I've installed MSSCCI from the below link: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/22d38324-051c-4f04-9379-ff78e7116c8d
After installing, as suggested in this blog(http://blogs.msdn.com/b/tfssetup/archive/2014/01/23/connecting-to-team-foundation-server-2013-using-visual-studio-2005-thru-msscci-provider.aspx) I don't see a plugin in the source control dropdown in VS 2008(Tools -> Options->Source Control). Neither I have an option under File-> Source Control to Launch Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider.
Please help.
Firstly, be sure that Team Explorer 2008 is installed, then install MSSCCI 2013 provider.
Secondly, once the MSSCCI 2013 provider is installed, please restart Visual Studio 2008. Then you should get these options.

I have a solution which connects to TFS using MSSCCI Provider.
How can I switch to using it with TFS and cut MSSCCI as the middle man?
When I select TFS in Tools --> options --> Source Control --> Current source control, Im getting a message that the active solution will be closed. When I open it again, the solution is still controlled by MSSCCI, ignoring my selection.
Any advice will be welocomed.
In general the MSSCCI Provider is for previous version of Visual Studio, it's not supported any more in Visual Studio 2017 without having Team Explorer 2013 installed. See Connect any version of Visual Studio to Visual Studio Team Services or Team Foundation Server for details.
So if you are using VS 2017, then you can uninstall the MSSCCI Provider and Team Explorer 2013. Then just make sure the Team Explorer 2017 is installed with the VS2017 (You can install the standalone Team Explorer installer if not installed before. ). Then you can connect to TFS/VSTS with the Team Explorer directly.

I managed to fix my issue in the following manner:
Remove MSSCCI:Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider from each project file.
Remove the GlobalSection(TeamFoundationVersionControl) = preSolution section from the sln file.
Open VS2017 and select TFS in Tools --> options --> Source Control --> Current source control.
Bind all projects in File --> Source Control --> Advanced --> Change Source Control.
I am new to TFS and am trying to build an VB project created with Visual Studio 2008 using Team Foundation Server 2017 Build feature.
As you can see on the image below, I need to set the Visual Studio version on the Build Solution task and there is no dropdown option for Visual Studio 2008.
Is there anyway I can select VS 2008 to build this project?
Or is it possible to do this?
I will appreciate of any help I can get.
Based on the information provided from Microsoft at TFS Server Requirements, and specifically looking into the Client Compatibility / Visual Studio 2008 falls under the MSSCCI support category:
MSSCCI support
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. The goal is simply to allow developers to continue working with legacy applications in an upgraded server.
I believe that, if you have to stick with Visual Studio 2008, you could use MSBuild step instead, and specify the proper location of the MSBuild 3.5, and verify if this would work for you:
In VS 2015 I had this that could install some check-in policies with it:
But in VS2017 I can't find it. Where has it gone?
That came as part of the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server Power Tools. These haven't shipped for Visual Studio 2017.
I can connect TFS 2010 Server from Visual Studio 2008 Explorer.
and connect with collection.
But when i go for Create Team Project from Visual Studio 2008 i got below error.
TF30172: You are trying to create a team project either without required permissions or with an older
version of Team Explorer. Contact your project administrator to check your permissions or to determine how
to upgrade Team Explorer.
i had installed below software.
1 Visual Studio 2008 SP1
2 VS2008 forward Compatibility software for TFS 2010
3 TFS 20010 Install on Server 2008 R2 Server (64 bit) OS.
4 Plugin for install for Visual Studio 2008.
Please if any reply or solution please let me know.
thank you
Like the error message says, you can't create a new team project for TFS 2010 from a 2008 client. If you don't have VS 2010, you can download Team Explorer 2010 from here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=329.
You can't create team project by yourself you need to configure TFS server where you can add project without TFS Server you are not allowed.
Is it possible to connect to 2010 TFS from Visual Studio 2008 Professional
There is an update VS90SP1-KB974558-x86.exe that is targeting VS2008 client, but that update did not recognize Professional version of VS2008.
Although TFS2010 is part of professional MSDN subscription
This blog post should get you going.
Quoted from post:
You have to install Team Explorer 2008 over your VS2008 Professional
SP1.
You need to reinstall VS2008SP1 to update team explorer.
After that you have to install Visual Studio Team System 2008 Service
Pack 1 Forward Compatibility Update
for Team Foundation Server 2010
(Installer) from this link.
When you connect from VS2008, you need to enter the full URL (ex:http://tfs2010:8080/tfs)
The order is important and you have to enter the full URL in 08.
