TL;DR; Step-by-step guide to installing Team Explorer 2008 on Windows 7, troubleshooting proxy and firewall issues, and connecting to CodePlex and TFS Sticky Buddy.
I was a little lazy last time and did not install either Team Explorer, or SP1 on my visual studio instance. So, lets get to it…
Everything fine with the Team Explorer install so far, but I have seen other people with this working as well. The fun seams to start when you get SP1 out of the bag, so we will start by Connecting to CodePlex , and using TFS Sticky Buddy …
Yea baby!
Well it looks like I have been hampered by my proxy server at work… no way round that one… I can get web pages, but application can’t connect…
And, not a proxy issue after all, but a firewall issue! Still can’t get the “Send Feedback” to sign in… now that is probably a proxy/websence issue…
This is a new one on me, and I needed to threaten Visual Studio with the “End Task” button to get it to respond… Maybe I need SP1 on Windows 7?
Tune in next time for some SP1 antics…
P.S. TFS Sticky Buddy works, but I think I am going to need a blue theme…
Ewww, and check out that nasty logo…
