I have VS2003 SP1 .Net 1.1 installed on Win7 64 bit machine.
I installed the Visual Studio Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider (64-bit).
When I start VS, goto Tools > Options > Source Control, TFS is not available.
The order of install was
- VS2003
- VS2003 SP1
- MSSCI Provider
Any ideas??
UPDATE - After checking with a coworker, he performed the same steps I did.
On his PC, File > Source Control displays MS TFS,
where as my PC displays MS VSS (both are obviously spelled out).
Imagine this... I installed Visual Studio Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider ( not the 64-bit flavor) and it works

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:
How do I get the TFS options to appear in Windows Explorer?
I have the Power Tools installed and for a few of my projects I do have the TFS options available in Windows Explorer.
I have recently created a couple of new branches from my Main project, but these new branches do not have the TFS options when "Right Clicking" the folder from within Windows Explorer.
I have tried reinstalling Power Tools, but this has not fixed my issue.
Does anyone know how I can get the TFS options to appear for my new projects in Windows Explorer?
If it makes a difference to the answer: I am using VS2008 with Power Tools 2010.
I cannot use a newer version of VS.
If you are using Team Foundation Server Power Tools December 2011 in your environment. You could try this solution: Uninstalled the old TFS Power Tools ( listed with a "Microsoft Team Foundation Server" prefix and/or "Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" in Control-Panel/Programs-and-Features ) and install a newer version. Such as:
Team Foundation Server 2012 RTM Power Tools.msi
You could also try to execute this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 201X Power
Tools\TfsComProviderSvr.exe

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.

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.
