About&#8221; in TSWA you can tell whether or not you have the correct version.&nbsp; Build 9.0.3275&nbsp;is the latest &#8220;patched&#8221; version.&nbsp; Anything before that is unpatched.&nbsp; Specifically, 9.0.3160 was the original TSWA SP1 release build number.\n<strong>*** UPDATE ***<\/strong>\nClearly some of the feedback in this post indicates that the uninstall\/reinstall approach is problematic for people.&nbsp; First, I&#8217;ll point out that the install is only about 5 minutes but none-the-less, I understand.&nbsp; As I said in the comments, we really can&#8217;t do hot-fix style servicing of PowerTools because the cost to do that is too high.&nbsp; However, this fix, in particular is a pretty contained change and one approach is for you to manually update the affected files.&nbsp; To do this you can install the update on another machine and get them from there or you can use:\nmsiexec \/a TeamSystemWebAccess.msi \/qb TARGETDIR=c:\\temp\\tswa\nto extract all of the files from the MSI (obviously replace the TARGETDIR value with whatever you prefer to use).\nThe files you need to update are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.dll<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.Server.dll<\/li>\n<li>Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WebAccess.WorkItemTracking.dll<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The updated files need to be placed in both:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;<span><font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Calibri\">%Program Files%\\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Sytem Web Access\\Web\\bin<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Calibri\"><span><span><span>&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/span><span>%Program Files%\\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Sytem Web Access\\WIWA\\bin<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/font><\/font><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\nThe following script also needs to&nbsp;be updated:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>EditWorkItem.js<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>in both:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span><span><font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Calibri\">%Program Files%\\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Sytem Web Access\\Web\\Resources\\Scripts<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span><span><font face=\"Calibri\" size=\"3\"><span><font size=\"3\"><font face=\"Calibri\">%Program Files%\\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team Sytem Web Access\\WIWA\\Resources\\Scripts<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We appologize for the inconvenience.<\/p>\n<p>Brian&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Within the last couple of weeks, we released an important update to the Team System Web Access 2008 SP1 Power Tool.&nbsp;
