Visual-studio – MSSCCI provider for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and TFS 2015

tfsvisual studiovisual-studio-2008

I have Team Foundation Server 2015 installed, and I'm trying to connect Visual Studio 2008 (Version 9.0.30729.4462 QFE) to the team project. I have installed VS 2008 Team Explorer (version 9.0.21022.8).

According to MS, this should be possible using MSSCCI Provider. However, I can't find the version that's compatible with TFS 2015.

Question: Where is the MSSCCI Provider for TFS 2015, or is there another way to connect VS 2008 to TFS 2015 ?

I have tried MSSCCI Provider for TFS 2013, and it failed because it didn't detect TFS 2013 (which makes sense since I have 2015 installed).

  1. Did you install the vs2008 sp1 compatibility GDR? Or else please install it.. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29983

  2. When passing the TFS URL in VS 2008 make sure that you are passing the tfs collection name as well, otherwise vs 2008 will throw error. For example, http://servername:8080/tfs/{collection1}

Edit: Please make sure that you install VS 2008 SP1 before you try steps 1 and 2.
