Make Sure You Reinstall VS 2008 SP1 After Installing Team Explorer

  • 發行項

If you installed Team Explorer into Visual Studio after you applied Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1, you’ll need to re-apply the service pack.  If you don’t, then you’ll be running an unsupported “mixed mode” installation, meaning the core Visual Studio components will be at the SP1 servicing level and TE will be at the RTM servicing level. 

Here’s a quick way to determine if your installation is in this state:

1. Click on Help->About Microsoft Visual Studio

2. On the Help screen, click “Copy Info”

3. Paste the text into Notepad (or your favorite editor)

4. Check the version of Visual Studio:

   Microsoft Visual Studio 2008
   Version 9.0.30729.1 SP <—indicates you have SP1 installed on Visual Studio
   Microsoft .NET Framework
   Version 3.5 SP1

5. Now check the version of Team Explorer.  If you see this, then you' have SP1 installed on Team Explorer:

   Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer
   Version 9.0.30729.1

However, if you see this, then you need to re-apply Service Pack 1 to bring Team Explorer up to the right servicing level:

   Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Explorer
   Version 9.0.21022.8

You can download the service pack installer here.

    Thanks for the warning Jason!  After checking I need to do the service pack again.  I'll pass this around!

    Great article, I was getting snagged up on SQL Server 2008 install, and I think this is the problem.

    Thanks for the post.  Hopefully actual usage of the Team System isn't as horrendous as the install.

    This has helped.  Now I have installed Team System Sever 2010 and there are now a couple more steps.  

  1. Install TFS forward compatibility patch
  2. Install registry entry to access a specific Collection
