Installing Team Explorer

This help topic shows you how to install Team Explorer from the extracted VSTFClient.img file you downloaded from Microsoft Download Center. As mentioned in Obtaining the Team Explorer Client, the .img file must first be extracted using a third-party tool before you can run setup. For help with extracting the .img file, see How to extract the VSTFClient.img File

To install Team Explorer from the extract setup files
  1. Browse to the location where you extracted the NetSetup folder, and then double-click this folder to open it.
  2. From the NetSetup folder, locate and double-click the setup.exe file.
  3. If prompted to install the program as user with administrative privileges, type the User name and Password of such a user.
  4. Click OK to launch the Visual Studio 2005 Team Explorer Setup.
  5. From the Welcome to Setup dialog, click Next.
  6. From the License Terms and Product Key dialog, read the terms of the License Agreement, select I accept the terms of the License Agreement, and then click Next.
  7. From the Destination Folder dialog, click Next. (Note that you may not be able to change the destination location.)
  8. From the Ready to Install dialog, click Install.
  9. After the Team Explorer is installed, click Finish.

Team Explorer is now ready to use. To run the program, click Start, point to All Programs (or Programs from the classic Start Menu), point to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, and then click Microsoft Visual Studio 2005.

For more information about using Visual Studio Team System, see Visual Studio Team System Resources.

Are there any issues installing this on Vista RC2? i get an error "vsbasereqs.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error..."

It seems the install fails when the NetSetup folder is on a CD-Rom. I tried to burn the .img file on a CD to install it later on my machine, and the setup could not complete. If I extract all the files from the .img file in a HDD directory, it works fine.

Im trying to add TE to a server that's running Team Foundation services. I get "Setup had detected that pidgen.dll file is missing. This file is critical to running setup. Please verify that the files in the location from which you are installing match the files on the original installation media, then run setup again." I tried replacing pidgen.dll with the version in system32.dll and the version that came with TF. When I try either one of those versions, I get an invalid product key error. Help!

Thanks for the tip to copy the files to the hard disk, that solved my problem with installing team explorer on Vista, where I got errors saying that I had to install Windows XP SP2 ...

Is this able to run without team system installed?, I guess it but not sure...

No - you need Team installed.

I installed Team Explorer. Under my current windows user I can see the modules in Visual studio but if I change the user and enter visual studio I can only see team explorer shortcuts but they are not working. And i can't see the module neither in about visual studio box.
