Hi Brian

The WSS3.0 stp files should be available under %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\Tools\Templates.

On the setup setup media, they’re at …\AT\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server\Tools\Templates.

Can you check if this works out? Otherwise you can contact me at sanjeg AT microsoft .com

Hi Brian,

I'm running the following environment:

Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 Enteprise on Windows Server 2008 64-bit

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 on Windows Server 2008 64-bit

Team Foundation Server 2008 on Windows Server 2003 32-bit (Virtualised)

According to what i've read, this is supported, yet i'm unable to create a project from Team Explorer.

I've checked the power tool and it does have some "errors" in it, such as it doesn't seem to know what to do when you're in a dual server environment (eg. Application Tier by itself, Data Tier by itself (reporting services on a third server btw)).

The problem i've found so far is that MSF Agile 4.2 uses a WSS 2.0 template, which cannot be used on Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007. the template is missing, obviously. If i add the MSFAgile.stp manually to the MOSS server via stsadm it'll accept the template, but cannot run it (wrong version).

So out of the box it doesn't seem to support this - regardless if you have a clean slate on the best practices analyser or not.

Is there a WSS 3.0 template available for MSF Agile to be used in conjunction with the Team Foundation Server 2008?

Maybe i'm missing something here - but from looking at the log files that's what i'm getting.

Regards

Sorry, that's what I get for not reading it closely enough. Yes, Kunal's answer, I believe, is the right one. You need a hot fix for Team Explorer 2005 to be able to create Team Projects against a server using WSS 3.0.

This not a configuration issue, I just did a step by step install using MDSN and this problem still exists. VS2005 cannot create a portal site on TFS2008.

Its been a year and no fix. Amazing.

It's almost certainly some configuration issue. You will need to run the TFS BPA tool that you can find in the latest version of the TFS Power Tools. My most recent blog post contains the download location for it.

I've just install TFS 2008 and SharePoint 2007.When create a new project from Team Explore, I got the same error message.

Do you have any idea to resolve this?

Thanks

This error usually means that some component (like SharePoint) threw an exception that the wizard doesn't know how to interpret. There is usually a lot more detailed information in the log file (there is a link to the log file on the dialog), though it's not the easiest thing to read. I'd be happy to help you with this, can you post the exceptions that you see in the log file? Or even better, post it on the MSDN forum (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=22&SiteID=1).

Nearly a year has gone by on this problem. Can ANYONE reliably create a new Team Project on TFS2008 from TE2005? It works sometimes, but more often than not, the dreaded TF30170 Error pops up.

"This is generally an indication of something being mis-configured." Yes. No doubt. But what???

I have this issue as well, Team Explorer 2005 talking to TFS2008.

"Today we released the first version of the Team Foundation Server 2008 Power Tools. This new release is primarily intended for use with a VS 2008 client. All VS integrated components with this new release will only integrate with VS 2008. Power Tool features in this release require that the Team Explorer 2008 be installed"

If I could install Team Explorer 2008 I wouldnt have any issues :( Bottom line Windows 2000 Desktop
