Updated VS2012 to VS2015 on Buiild server. Now "No TFS assemblies were found on the system" when connecting to VCS (TFS) root
We have teamCity on it's own (internal) build server, and TFS on another internal Build server.
I've just removed VS2012 from the build server and installed VS2015 on there, as all dev team have now upgraded.
TeamCity now cannot connect to TFS (which hasn't changed / moved etc as it;s on its own server) and I get the following when testing the connection to the VCS Root:
ERROR - No TFS assemblies were found on the system. Please make sure you have Microsoft Team Explorer 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 or 11.0 installed
I've seen various posts stating Team Explorer is required, so..
- have installed that (seemed to use a VS2013 shell) and have connected to TFS from within there.
- Also connected to TFS from within VS2015
- Have rebooted
What do I need to do to resolve the error?

Hi Andy,
Do I correctly understand that you have installed Team Explorer on TeamCity server? What Team Explorer version was installed? What TeamCity version is used?
Could you please check whether the problem is related to permissions? Please try to connect to TFS under the same user account that is used to start TeamCity server service.
Hi Alina. We were looking in the short-term of staying with our existing teamcity version (7.1.3) but have taken the current issues as an excuse to upgrade to the latest TeamCity. The original question is therefore no longer required.
Many thanks :)
