Microsoft Visual Studio TFS2012 error

Hi David,

                You may want to try to re-register your Office add-in you can follow this command:

For 64 bit windows:

Regsvr32  “C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7 IDE PrivateAssemblies TFSOfficeAdd-in.dll”

For 32 bit Windows:

Regsvr32  “C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio 10.0Common7 IDE PrivateAssemblies TFSOfficeAdd-in.dll”

This should resolve your issue, however some would suggest that this add in often fails on a 64 bit platform so using 32 bit software would be the best way to go.

The problem lies in team foundation server. You need the team foundation server to restart. Just restart the team foundation server and check for the error. I feel the error will be gone.

This error appears because the TFS add-in does not work with 64bit versions of MS Office.

A way to try to avoid this error is to use the TEAM tab to connect to the TFS add-in from Excel and subsequently use the TFS Query option to create a new list.
