Team Foundation Server - Team Explorer Errors

Jeff Sheldon — Fri, 20 Oct 2006 17:07:00 GMT

We recently implemented Team Foundation Server here at work, and it's been fairly ok so far. We have run into some issues lately though. Specifically, issues with Team Explorer inside of Visual Studio 2005. We had a couple of developers here who would randomly (at least it seemed randomly) get NullReference exceptions when trying to view projects and such inside of Team Explorer.

This fix for us, seemed to be re-registering some DLL's that managed to get unregistered. At first I thought it was the IE 7 Beta installation that was messing things up, but it doesn't seem to be that. I had the same issues at one point, and I don't have IE7 installed.

Regardless, the following seemed to fix things right up:

regsvr32 /s urlmon.dll
regsvr32 /s actxprxy.dll
regsvr32 /s shdocvw.dll
regsvr32 /s mshtml.dll
regsvr32 /s browseui.dll
regsvr32 /s jscript.dll
regsvr32 /s vbscript.dll
regsvr32 /s oleaut32.dll

Now I need to sit down and look into the Visual Studio SDK to build a custom Process Creation Wizard plugin.

Is there anyone out there who HASN'T heard about this?

I just found out the other day, that our network admin here had never heard about it. So I went ahead and informed him of what was going on, it took 20 minutes in addition to some proof to actually convince him.

Anyway, today I ran into this great article that shows the whole story from start to finish.

On a side note.. I went to the "Ready to launch tour" yesteryday. That was pretty interesting. Plus I got my free copy of Visual Studio 2005 + SQL Server 2005.

Woot!
