It could well be. Check out Brian Harry's weblog entry More Expirations Coming Soon... for a little tool

FYI, this doesn't appear to work with Beta 3 Refresh. Attempts to access a file in PRogram Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Web Services but in Beta 3 Refresh I believe the proper directory is: Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services

I second what Optikal said, but for RTM

I didn't try it with Beta 3 Refresh - it's not intended to work with it. If you still have Beta 3 refresh, upgrade :)

"Michael, what do you mean, you second what Optikal said, but for RTM". What specific error are you getting? We've tested it on quite a few RTM installations.

Shouldn't the tool be looking in \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server? On one of my servers (single server), it can't find the TeamFoundation dll in ..\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\..

I tested this tool on an RTM installation and also got the error "File not found: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Web Services\Services\Bin\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll". I checked and indeed the Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll is located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\Web Services\Services\bin.
I guess this is the same thing as Michael A. replied.

Some of you are reporting that it appears to be looking in the wrong place for Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll. Here's what it does - I'd appreciate it if you could tell me which part of this is going wrong.

First it looks in the registry under "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall". It looks for a sub key that starts with:
"Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (services)" or "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server"

If it finds it, it looks for a string value called InstallLocation. It really should find that and it really should point at where TFS is installed. If it's not there (or wrong) something is wrong (either with the TFS installation or my information about the key :)).

If it can't find the key, it throws a "hail Mary" and looks in "%Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server".

Those of you having problems with this, please check your registry and let me know what you find.

This is what I found.
Only the following MS-keys are found in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Explorer - ENU
This one holds a sub-key "InstallLocation" with the value "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\"
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server - ENU
This one holds a sub-key "InstallLocation" with the value "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server\"
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server (build) - ENU

OK, I have a hunch what was happening. It was picking up the (build) registry key and thinking it was the server for single server installs with build installed on them. I have modified the detection logic to check for the "-" position as well. It should pick up the right one now.

I re-uploaded the zip. Could you give it a try and let me know?
