I have installed SSAS and created a project. After two months working with seas, now when creating a new project, the analysis service is not available. but I can open old SSAS projects. How I can create another new SSAS project.
In Visual Studio (Open as Admin):
- Go to "Tools" >> "Extensions and Updates..."
- In the left pane, click on "Online"
- In the Search box on the top right enter "SSDT"
- check if the Extension "Microsoft Analysis Services Projects" is installed
In case it is installed and you still cannot choose Analysis Services as New Projects, you need to un-install the Extension and follow the instructions on the following website and install SSDT (SQL Server Data Tools):

Visual Studio 2019: Install Extension "Microsoft Analysis Services Projects"
Visual Studio 2017: Either install Extension, if that doesn't work for you, intall SSDT with the standalone installer: Download SSDT for Visual Studio 2017 (15.9.4)
Visual Studio 2015 and earlier: Install via SSDT standalone installer required
It depends on which version of Visual Studio you are using. In 2015 everything needed to be installed via the standalone installer SSDT. In 2017 both the standalone installer and extensions exist, whereas in 2019 the standalone installer got replaced by the extensions. The super confusing part is, that there is the option to install "SSDT" during the installation of Visual Studio. Unfortunately installing SSDT during installing Visual Studio does not include Analysis/Reporting/ Integration Services.
We currently use TFS 2013 with a suite of XAML builds, there are a few hundred projects here, each with an average of six build definitions each.
We're wanting to upgrade to TFS 2017 (2018 doesn't support XAML) but need to be able to support the XAML builds until they're all migrated.
According to MS, we can setup a TFS 2017 box, a build server with a 2017 build agent on it and a separate build server with a 2015 build agent on it which TFS can use to run the XAML builds.
My problem is... where to get the 2015 build agent installer from. Normally you ask TFS for the build agent installer, but we don't have a TFS 2015 installation.
Am I going to have to setup a TFS 2015 VM just so I can click one lousy link and download one installer. I've searched around but can't find any other place to get the damned thing from.
Anyone got a link to an MS page?
You could download the latest build agent from the link below:
Download Latest Agent , which will download the "vsts-agent-win7-x64-2.xxx.x.zip" file for you. Currently I believe that both TFS 2015 and TFS 2017 are downloading the same latest agent as mentioned above.
If you need a specific version of the agent you could take a look at the git hub for the specific Releases of the VSTS agents
VS2013 agents are not found in site https://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/download/details.aspx?id=40750,where can i download it from.I want it to install in build server to run unit test from TFS xaml build.
You'll need to download the TFS 2013 ISO, run the installation, and the configure the build controller and agents.
You can find the TFS 2013 ISO by going here and then selecting "Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2013 with Update 5".
Installation and configuration instructions can be found here.
I'm wondering if someone could help me out with this issue please.
First up the background, we've been using TeamCity for database deployments for a while. Today we upgraded to 10.0.5. All fine.
The issue we have is with SQL 2016 database projects. I'm trying to get the database project to build in TeamCity. The build 'Visual Studio' setting in the build was set to 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2015' this causes issues as it cant build it. So I changed it to be 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2017' and I installed 'Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017' on the TeamCity box.
Now when I click the run button I get a message back saying
"Warning no enabled compatible build agents......".
Its almost as if the build agent is allowed to use the VS2015 MSBuild but not the 2017 one and I'm not sure how to authorise it to be able to.
I've attached some screenshots of the screens as well.
Thanks,
Nic
I managed to resolve this simply be restarting the server.
Thanks,
Nic
I have Windows 7 Professional x64. I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium and Visual Studio 2012 Premium installed on my machine.
I installed TFS Power Tools Decemeber 2011. I restarted my computer after successful installation. I then checked out a folder from TFS 2010 but the TFS menu items in Windows Explorer context menu do not appear when i right click on the folder.
I even reinstalled it by uinstalling it, restarting the pc and installing it again then restarting it again but same issue.
I have followed the instructions outlined in here:
TFS Power Tools: Shell Extension : Context Menu Quirky and TFS Icons on Files/Folders missing
But same issue same issue occurs. Would anyone know what else i can do to get the TFS menu items to appear in the context menu please?
Thanks in advance,
I am not sure if this would help or you are willing to use a new version but I had the exact same environment and issue with you.
What I had done is that I uninstalled the old TFS Power Tools ( listed with a "Microsoft Team Foundation Server" prefix and/or "Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server" in Control-Panel/Programs-and-Features ) and install a newer version which is RTM. You can download them at http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=35775 and install the following in the same order listed below
Team Foundation Server 2012 RTM Power Tools.msi
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 1 Power Tools.msi
Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2012 Update 2 Power Tools.msi
Close Visual Studio before you start then restart after installing, you should see your context menu afterwards together with the green arrow that indicates it is in TFS
Here is a screenshot of it
Also please take note that after installation this would not happen instantaneously as advised on this post: TFS Power Tools: Shell Extension : Context Menu Quirky and TFS Icons on Files/Folders missing
It sometimes takes a while for the TfsComProviderSvr.exe to check if
the local folder is a workspace and register the shell extension.
So this depends on many variables, your TFS server speed, your machine speed and your network speed. In my case I left it overnight to fully show everything.
Windows has a limit on home many overlay icons it can support. This started happening to me after i installed google drive, one drive, and dropbox and the TFSOverlay got pushed down to the bottom in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers
You can fix it by either
Uninstalling some of the overlay apps. (Eg: remove Google drive
or Dropbox)
Rename the TFS folders in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer \ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers to start with numbers so they take priority (Eg: "1TfsOverlayAdd" , "2TfsOverlayEdit" etc.).
Also there is usually a delay for the green icons to appear in the folder explorer, so be patient.
I was having the same problem and just I executed this file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2012 Power
Tools\TfsComProviderSvr.exe
After a few minutes the menu appeared.
This problem also occurs when you are running Visual Studio under different credentials (i.e. an account with Administrator privileges) than the logged on user. Logging on as that same user displays the ShellExtension correctly. But that's just not an option here...
I have not yet found a solution. It would be a nice feature to be able to set some options for TfsComProviderSvr.exe, so that one can let it watch workspace folders for a different 'Team Member' than the logged on user...
I've tried running Explorer.exe with other credentials, but that does not spawn a new TfsComProviderSvr.exe. Starting it by hand with the different credentials also does not seem to work. An instance of TfsComProviderSvr.exe is always (re)spawned for the currently logged on user.
Forgive me for sharing the obvious, but I had a similar issue, and in my case it appears that the default selected installed features were different than I expected.
I reran the installer using "Modify" instead of "Repair" and confirmed that the Windows Shell Extension feature was selected for installation:
I'm running a similar environment (VS 2010 Shell with VS 2013 Professional). Perhaps that impacts the defaults.
Here is the Power Tools Installer that I used.
I had a similar issue, I ripped off old the version, gave me some issues as you have to stop the TFS process and the explorer process but you can always restart explorer again once the old version has been uninstalled.
Then I restated my machine.
Installed latest version: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b1ef7eb2-e084-4cb8-9bc7-06c3bad9148f ( version 11.0.60506.0 )
Restarted my pc again
Navigated to a source control folder and all TFS icons and shell extensions now started to appear.
Bottom line, the latest version worked for me, did not have to fiddle with reg'values at all.
Here's how I fixed mine. I had installed Visual Studio 2015 and installed TFS Power Tools for VS 2015. I also installed Visual Studio 2017. I generally use VS 2017 and had attached to TFS there. I hadn't attached VS 2015 to TFS and the power tools menu would not show up in explorer. I finally realized that when they say you have to have the same version of Visual Studio installed that you ALSO have to have that visual studio Team Explorer connected to TFS. You don't have to use it beyond that, but it must be connected using the dialog, like you see here.
