Does Team Explorer integrate with VS2005
I have VS2005 and VS2008 installed on my machine. I was able to install Team Explorer 2008 but was unable to install Team Explorer 2005 (it kept throwing error number 2337 which I couldn't solve).
Currently I need to run VS2008 IDE to use control source and VS2005 to work with source code (as projects and solution files are still in the old VS2005 format).
Can I TE2008 work with VS2005 to have an integrated experience?
You must have a version of Team Explorer 2005 installed for TFS integration to be present in VS 2005. Visual Studio 2005 + Team Explorer 2005 can happily coexist on a Visual Studio 2008 + Team Explorer 2008 machine and run side-by-side.
So for this to work, you need to work on error 2337. The only time I saw this error, I found that the Team Explorer installer was corrupted. You can try reloading it or accessing it from the Team Foundation Server 2005 installation CD.
Hope it helps,
Martin.
