I have a client who has TFS 2010 and I need to setup my own installation on an Azure VM in order to do some testing, and help them migrate off of TFS 2010 to TFS 2015. However, I cant for the life of me seem to locate a setup .exe online for Team Foundation Server 2010. Is this still possible? Do I need a physical DVD?
The instructions here
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=24337
ask to use the physical DVD, but I dont have one.
According to this link https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/56343ed9-6c0c-4c17-89d1-62b4bb3cf645/visual-studio-team-foundation-server-2010-setup-downloadable-link?forum=tfsbuild
Its available for MSDN subscribers, but I dont see any TFS versions below 2015 on MSDN download page.
I have found the service pack 1 install, but not the setup for the full product. can anyone help me locate a setup exe online so that I can get this running? Thank you in advance.
Seems you are installing TFS 2010 to simulate some existing environment and test configuration changes. However, there is not any setup.exe for TFS 2010 in official site for now.
It's unsupported and 8 years old. There have been five major releases since then. We encourage users move to newly version of TFS server. Either back up the TFS2010 database and do the move directly or use some other machine with DVD to install the TFS2010 ISO image for a test.
Since the Windows update from October 10, the ODBC Excel drivers have stopped working. We get the following error when trying to read a file:
"Unexpected error from external database driver (1)"
We open Excel files in Delphi using an ADO connection with the following connection string:
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls;Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1";
I can get it to work by switching to Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0, but for that to work, all our customers would have to install the Microsoft Access Database Engine Redistributable on all the computers they use our software on.
Does anybody have another solution or workaround? Thanks in advance.
On a customers machine I have deinstalled KB4041681 (Windows 7) which came with last Microsoft Patch.
On my machine I have deinstalled KB4041676 (Windows 10).
After that Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 is now working.
I hope that Microsoft will fix this bug soon.
There is one solution. Replace "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls;Extended Properties="Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1"
with Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\MyExcel.xls; Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR = YES;
After this change you will have to install 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components from link on customer machine.
I had the same problem with 2 applications developed by me since 3 years (c# and java).
Since 10-oct-2017 I couldn't export to excel 2003 but 2007 worked, and couldn't import from excel 2003 but 2007 worked too for import.
In ArcGIS Desktop 10.5.1 By ESRI (a most popular software for Geographic processing) Couldn't open excels 2003 and .mdb files.
Temporally Solution: uninstall KB4041693, KB4041687 in windows 8.1 (maybe for w10).
In microsoft changelog of both path say something about "updates [...] and security updates for microsoft jet".
After uninstall and restart all softwares becomes to be normal again.
this problem was introduced in 10-oct-2017.
In microsoft forums this problemas was reported (kb4041693 should "fix" it but still doesn't work).
Maybe in few weeks they will path (properly) this issue.
For me, it worked following these steps:
ps.: We have a Windows Server 2008R2
1 – Download and install this: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23734
2 – Open the .dtsx file and change your Excel connection. On the properties dialog, Click on the three dots in the ConnectionString property and change it to Microsoft Excel 2007. This will automatically change your connection string to:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={YOURPATH};Extended Properties=”Excel 12.0 XML;HDR=YES”;
3 – Some of our .dtsx files point to a config file (usually has a .dtsConfig extension). I also changed these guys to point to the right provider (pretty much copied and pasted the connection string I got from visual studio)
After this, I ran the SQL Job again and it worked fine.
If you are working with SSIS package then please change your Excel Sheet version 2003 to 2007 in Excel Source or Excel destination.Generally this issue due to excel version.
I had the same problem. Changed Excel 2007 in Excel destinations. It worked. This is same as changing the provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0.
HERE is the solution... i found it in another forum and work perfectly for me...
it will works 100%

The KB4041681 installs version 4.0.9801.1 of msexcl40.dll.
Find prior version (4.0.9801.0) of msexcl40.dll
Place in another directory. They suggest the application directory, but since in the next step you will modify registry to point to this older version, it can probably go anywhere.
Update registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Jet\4.0\Engines\Excel\win32 to point to the location from step 2.
Uninstall these updates(according to your OS) and your code will start running normally

KB4041678 - For me this was the issue

This problem was introduced by a recent update of Microsoft Office. there are not alternative solutions at the moment.
I have uploaded MS Project files in my SP Foundation librarty. But when I wan't to open it in browser I get an error:
no apps are installed to open this type of link (ms-project).
How can I fix it?
Please see this answer from Juan Pablo Pussacq Laborde >
There is no application to open project in the browser. What exists is Microsoft Project Server, but does not work on SharePoint Foundation. You need to install SharePoint Enterprise and Project Server . It also requires Microsoft Project Professional as a client

I downloaded the Windows Azure Platform Training Kit - WAPTK and started with the first exercise Ex1-BuildingYourFirstWindowsAzureApp . At Task 3 I get stuck though. The problem is that I can't find the 'Assets' folder.
"In the Add Existing Item dialog, browse to the Assets folder in the Source\Ex1-BuildingYourFirstWindowsAzureApp for the language of your project (Visual C# or Visual Basic), hold the CTRL key down while you select every file in this folder and click Add."
Anyone had the same problem ? When is the Assets folder created ?
In my install it appears to be here
C:\WAPTK\Labs\BuildingAppsWithCacheService\Source\Assets
but I agree the docs are not at all clear.
WAPTK is the Windows Azure Platform Training Kit. The last release was June 2012.
For each Lab there is generally a Begin folder, End Folder and an Assets folder to get code from.
There is also normally Visual Studio snippets to install, plus for some other labs there are also other installations.
When you open the Menu - normally installed into WAPTK\Labs\Labs.htm - each lab has 4 links
Lab Manual - Lab Files - Setup Lab - Setup Instructions
Its a good idea to click on Setup Lab first, install whatever is necessary. Then click on Lab Files which will give you the starting solutions, then the Lab Manual to follow.
On my Install I have the following folders
WAPTK\Labs\IntroductionToWindowsAzureVS2010\Source\Ex1-BuildingYourFirstWindowsAzureApp\CS\Assets
WAPTK\Labs\IntroductionToWindowsAzureVS2010\Source\Ex1-BuildingYourFirstWindowsAzureApp\CS\Begin
WAPTK\Labs\IntroductionToWindowsAzureVS2010\Source\Ex1-BuildingYourFirstWindowsAzureApp\CS\End
It is found here:
DRIVE:\WATK\Labs\IntroToCloudServices\Source\Ex1-BuildingYourFirstWindowsAzureApp\Assets
This is the latest Training Kit as of June 2012
I've just tried out TFS 2010 today, along with Project 2010 and VS 2010. Only Later realized that without Sharepoint, TFS is only configured as Basic. This reduces it's functionality as oppose to what I've seen during VS2010 product launch. Sadly I can't find any alternative but to get a trial copy of Sharepoint to see if it serve my purpose. Well, apparently Sharepoint only comes with x64 edition. I'm not formatting any machine to x64 just to give this a try. So, after some reading up, I found that Project Server is actually based on Sharepoint. Now I wonder is whether TFS can be configure to connect to Project Server?
If it's possible, would the setting be much different that Sharepoint's?
And what am I missing from this setup as oppose to Sharepoint's?
Based on Sharepoint != Sharepoint. I think that Project Server is just a subset of Sharepoint functionality. Also, basing Project on Sharepoint allows for some really tight integration into your portal. To answer your question, I don't think you still will get your fully featured TFS without Sharepoint Proper.
FYI - Sharepoint 2007 (or 3.0 or whatever it is) is not x64 only, but will run on x86. TFS 2010 will go full feature on 2007
Sharepoint 2007 Trial
To answer what you are missing:
Reports
Project Portal
TFS Web Access
That's about it. You still get 90% of the features with your current deployment without SharePoint. Tommy is right about MOSS 2007, it comes in 32-bit and will give you all features. Project Server runs on top of SharePoint as a shared service provider. Traditionally MS releases a power toy to integrate TFS with Project Server. They said they would go over this at TechEd, which just happened about a week ago.
Also, I suspect the integration with Project Server 2010 will be better, but then you will have to run SharePoint 2010 :(
In my opinion, TFS has enough to run most projects by itself and you can use the client version of MS Project for critical path anaylsis, etc.
Use Windows Sharepoint Services for Windows 2003 & Windows 2008:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsserver/sharepoint/bb400747.aspx
For Windows Server 2008 sp2 and Windows Server R2, use SharePoint Foundation 2010:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=49c79a8a-4612-4e7d-a0b4-3bb429b46595&displaylang=en
Both are free.
I'm not formatting any machine to x64
just to give this a try.
Why not use VMWare Server, Hyper-V, Virtual Box or some other virtualization software to run the pre-made demo/trial/lab VHD's - no formatting, no installation, no setup, more hair.
