The stream of new stuff coming out for VS/VSTS/TFS 2008 continues! - see my recent post on an update to the TFS Power Tools.  It is time for me to tell you about what is coming in TFS 2008 SP1.  The release of the Beta is very close (as always, don't ask me for a date but if you want to play with it when it comes out, start figuring ...

Issues uninstalling Dec 2007 Power Tools – error 1001

We've heard some reports from people who are upgrading to the Mar 2008 Power Tools that they have had problems uninstalling the Dec 2007 Power Tools (which you must do first).  They get "error 1001" - a very useful error message a must admit.  It makes me wonder what the other 1000 errors are :) Anyway, working with a few customers, ...

Brian Harry
We've just released a new version of the TFS Power Tools.  This new Power Tool release will work only with the VS/Team Explorer 2008 client (but against either a TFS 2005 or TFS 2008 server).  If you haven't taken the time to upgrade yet, I highly recommend it - you are missing out on lots of great new value we are delivering. ...
