TFS Project Management using Microsoft Excel and ProjectĪnother reason as to why the missing Team Explorer is a big deal is that I have business-oriented users (i.e. The error message, shown in Figure 1, comes up when I pertinaciously create a TFS 2015 Team Project using Team Explorer 2013: No, I cannot create new Team Project against TFS 2015 on-prem instance when using earlier versions of Team Explorer.

Anyway, I digress, Team Explorer is basically a client software package required to create Team Project against an on-prem server instance. Honestly, I’ve never understood the business model by Microsoft as to why we have to step out of Team Foundation Server Configuration Center in order to create TFS Team Project as it already requires one to be at least a member of a Project Collection Administrator role to be able to set it up. Again, if you have administered TFS for as long as I have, you should already know that you can do just about anything on Team Foundation Server Configuration Center except create new Team Projects. I suppose you are wondering why I am suddenly up in arms for a supposedly missing standalone Team Explorer 2015 installer. After going through every possible link on search engine results relating to “Team Explorer 2015,” I concluded that only Team Explorer Everywhere 2015 was released this time around. So you will understand my bewilderment when I couldn’t locate these installers following a successful setup of on-premise (on-prem) TFS 2015 server instance for my employer. If you have been using Team Foundation Server (TFS) for as long as I have, you will recall that just about every release of TFS has always been accompanied by standalone Team Explorer and Team Explorer Everywhere software installers.
