TeamCity adding TFS VCS Root - No TFS Assemblies were found Follow

Created February 13, 2015 10:27

Hi all,

Apolagies if this has been covered a million times but i couldnt find any help through searching :(

I have a server with TeamCity installed and am trying to connect to our TFS which is hosted on another server (both on our domain). I have done all the basic setup but when i go to create a VCS root i get the error: "Test connection failed in ..... No TFS Assemblies were found on the system. Please make sure you have Microsoft Team Explorer installed..."

I have installed (in this order): Sql Server Data tools 2012 -> Sql Server Data tools 2013 -> Team Explorer 2012 -> Team Explorer 2013.

Do i need other installed products for TFS to connect correctly?

I have SQL Server 2014 installed on the TeamCity server and will be automating builds for VS 2012 and 2013 projects.

Again sorry if this is a silly request...

Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks, James

Hi James,

>Do i need other installed products for TFS to connect correctly?
No, you need only Team Explorer to be installed.

Have you restarted TeamCity server after Team Explorer installation?

Hi Alina,

Thanks alot!

I feel a little silly now not restarting the server. After a reboot everything worked fine.

Thanks again,
James.
