I'm looking to build a SharePoint 2010 RTM environment and I'm wondering if there's a guide out there for doing so. I have 4 VMs (AD, WEB, SQL, IDX) to use to build the proper environment.
There absolutely is. I assume that you have the Sharepoint 2010 RTM disk or image handy? If so, pop up the autorun screen where you have the option to install the prerequisites, the server, etc. It should look like this.
On this same menu, look for the option "Read Installation Guide". You will find everything you need related to the RTM install and environment setup in that document.

I just created a new empty universal app (windows 10) and checked it in on my visual studio online project.
The configured build is constantly failing on following error...
The imported project "C:\Program Files
(x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\WindowsXaml\v14.0\8.2\Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.CSharp.targets"
was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is
correct, and that the file exists on disk.
I set build configurations to use VS2015 but without any luck.
I keep thinking there's a simple configuration I'm missing here... but can it also be that it's not yet supported?
The project itself is just the standard template from Visual Studio.
I'm having a similar issue running with MSBuild 8.2 target missing under VS2013 Update 5 under Windows 10 TH1. Except my target is Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.Cpp.targets. So not necessarily an issue with Visual Studio but rather the substitution for $(TargetPlatformVersion) in the targets definition:
<Import Project="$(TargetPlatformVersion)\Microsoft.Windows.UI.Xaml.Cpp.targets" />
I'm building a project from Microsoft (https://github.com/Microsoft/winsdkfb), so I don't think this is your problem (meaning you've not done anything incorrect).
I know this isn't an answer, but I suspect we're caught in a gap in the Windows 10 SDK & Tools. Those aren't scheduled to be complete and available until 29 July even though VS2015 has RTM'd. I tried to track down something in the VS2015 release notes without luck.
Just inform the solution I found on this thread.
At the time of writing, it appeared that VSTO serves were not yet updated with
the Windows 10 SDK.
The only way back then to make it run was by creating your own Build VM (through Windows Azure) and link it to your VSTO builds.
I posted the thread and got the answer on the MSDN TFS forum.
I have not tried it right now, but since Windows 10 is officially released now, I guess it may work out of the box.
We now support building Universal Windows Platform (UWP) projects on the hosted build service.
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.
I am on windows 7 enterprise
I have infopath 2010 installed my pc and have used it before
But due to my requirements I have to use object model to write code and it requires I add a reference to SharePoint
I read some article but it does not have any solutions for my need (it was on web part and remote debugging, they talked about export the registry and import it to local box)
My question is what do I need to install (bare mininum of SP Foundation or whatever it is) on my local pc so I can develop code and add sharepoint reference in visual studio.
Well the bare minimum is to add the Microsoft.SharePoint.dll (located in the 14 hives folder) to your project - but you are not going to be happy with it. You might be able to write code and the compiler will not complain about missing references but you will not be able to debug or get any information from the SharePoint objects because all information is stored in the specific databases (config db, content db).
The best solution is to install SP Foundation (preferably in a VM) - if you want to code against features which are only available in the Standard/Enterprise version (for example InfoPath Froms Service) you will have to install the correspondig version.
I have a Windows 7 64-bit computer with Visual Studio 2008 and Visual Studio 2010 Professional installed (C# only).
Now I want FxCop. I read first we should install Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4, so I wanted to do so, but it gives me error and says installation failed, go find more details in some HTML page in a folder path that it does not even exist:
Installation of the “Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7″ product has reported the following error: Please refer to Samples\Setup\HTML\ConfigDetails.htm document for further information.
So two questions:
I do not care about the rest of the stuff. I just want FxCop! Do I really need to install this SDK too?
What do you think is the problem when its installation fails?
I had a very similar problem. You don't need to install the SDK to do it. However, you still need to download it which is unfortunate as it is a pretty large download after all. Why it isn't a separate download is beyond me...
Anyway, I extracted the install files I needed by following the information in XXX.
In brief, you need to do this (edited from the link above):
Download the ISO version instead, extract it with 7Zip and locate
Setup\WinSDKNetFxTools\cab1.cab. Open it with Windows and copy out the
file
"WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe_all_enu_1B2F0812_3E8B_426F_95DE_4655AE4DA6C6".
Rename this to "WinSDK_FxCopSetup.exe" and it should now install.
You can also browse the ISO image with suitable tools rather than unextracting the whole thing.
Given the date of this post, you might have already found the solution, but it may help others who come acros this issue.
From the page above there is a comment linking to another explanation that is better detailed: Liberate FxCop 10.0.
Is it possible to make a setup and deployment project in VB.net 2008, every site i have looked at on google says to just select it from the project list. It isnt in the project list for me to select.
Are these types of projects not available in the express version?
How can I make an installer, other than using one of the setup and deployment projects? (I know there is a publish button, but that doesn't make a proper installer and installs to the appdata folder which is not what i want it to do)
Any help is appreciated
You would need to use another program, such as innosetup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php), to create a setup.exe. Microsoft has to give you some reason to purchase their software.
Express editions do not have these project types. They support ClickOnce only, per this chart:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zcbsd3cz(VS.80).aspx
This carries over to the 2008 versions as well.
Edit - Added
See here for using ClickOnce from an Express edition:
http://blogs.msdn.com/vbteam/archive/2008/10/02/looking-for-setup-and-deployment-project-templates.aspx
You could use Inno Setup
It pretty much will do what you need to create an installer package. Oh yeah, and it's free.
