Not a problem.

I've submitted a Connect issue in case anyone else wants to monitor this bug as well or vote it up.

connect.microsoft.com/.../check-in-policy-failure-with-vs-2005-and-tfs-2012

Thanks for looking into this!

Matt, submitting a Connect issue would give you visibility into the progress on the issue. You can reference this "thread" here on the blog post to help us keep it all straight.

Thanks and sorry for the trouble!

Thanks for the workaround P. Kelley. At this point, the impact is low enough I'd rather not mess with that particular workaround. : ) But it's good to have it just in case.

Is there a way to track this issue to see in what Update / hotfix it is resolved? Do you want me to submit a Connect issue for it?

Matt,

We've reproduced the problem you reported. We'll get this fixed for a future release of Visual Studio. I have some workaround steps to share with you.

1. Open regedit and locate the VS 2012 master check-in policies key. My machine runs 64-bit Windows, so the location is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\TeamFoundation\SourceControl\Checkin Policies

If you have 32-bit Windows, then you'll just omit the "Wow6432Node" path part.

2. In this key there are two REG_SZ values which have a name but no data. They are Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Controls and Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Controls. What we need to do is to double-click each of these two REG_SZ values to edit them, and provide the full path to these DLLs. My machine runs 64-bit Windows, so the two paths are:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Build.Controls.dll

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Controls.dll

If you have 32-bit Windows, then there won't be an "(x86)" in your Program Files directory name.

3. Close the registry editor and start a "Developer Command Prompt" elevated (right-click and Run as Administrator).

4. In this Developer Command Prompt run: "devenv /setup". This will take a minute or two to run. There will not be any output from the command -- when it's done you'll just end up back at the command prompt. Close the Developer Command Prompt.

5. Restart Visual Studio 2005 and the problem ought to be resolved.

Thanks,

P. Kelley

Need to clarify my last...

We can check-in without issue using MSSCCI 2010 and VB6 / VS 2003. VS 2005 does not work with MSSCCI 2010. Therefore we have a workaround for VB6 and VS 2003, but not for VS 2005.

Thanks, let me know if you need any more info from me.

Also, we were able to repro this with VB6 SP6 and VS 2003 SP1 as well using MSSCCI 2012.

We are able to check-in without issue using TE 2010 / MSSCCI 2010 however.

Matt, we are going to try to repro this and get to the bottom of it. It will be next week, though, before we have that done.

Noticed that I also get David's issue when using VS 2005 with TFS MSSCCI 2012 and TE 2012 to connect to TFS 2012. Internal Changeset error version 10.0.

Here's my software setup:

Windows 7 SP1

VS 2005 SP1 + Vista Compatibility Update + TFS 2010 GDR

VS 2012 Professional Update 1

TFS 2012 MSSCCI (32-bit)

TFS 2012 Update 1 w/ Cumulative Update 1

Any ideas on this?

We have been working with David and believe this is related to the environment he's working in (appears to be something happening when git-tfs is used to launch tf checkin rather than just running tf checkin from the command line).
