"An updated TFS MSSCCI provider is available"

bharry's WebLog : An updated TFS MSSCCI provider is available

"Yesterday we posted the latest update of the TFS MSSCCI provider. In addition to the support for VS6 in the last pre-release, this new version also works with VS2003, VS2002 and FoxPro. It is likely it will also work with other MSSCCI enabled environments (like the SQLServer tools, PowerBuilder, etc.) but no testing has been done on other environments yet. If you try it out, please let us know of any bugs you find or any successes you have. This new MSSCCI provider is ONLY compatible with the TFS Release Candidate.

You can download the new provider at:

I’m looking forward to the RTM of TFS and this provider…

VS6 MSSCCI Provider for TFS

Update #1 2/21/2006 @ 1:16PM (PST):

TFS MSSCCI Provider Beta 2 is available -- disable strong name validation

“As has been announced in several different blogs, the second beta of the MSSCCI provider is available, providing VS integration for users with VS 2003 and earlier (you cannot use it with VS 2005, because we provide the full experience with Team Explorer in VS 2005).

For it to work, you will need to disable strong name validation for the beta 2 assemblies.  They are not strongly named (signed) binaries.

If you do not disable strong name validation, you will receive two error messages.

TFMscciSvr.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.

There was a failure while initializing the Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider source control provider. You cannot use this provider to perform source control operations.

You can use the following to disable strong name validation for the public key tokens used in these assemblies, without disabling strong name validation for everything.

Save the following text into a file called disable.reg and then type disable.reg in a Windows console command prompt to run it 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ StrongName]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ StrongName\ Verification]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ StrongName\ Verification\ *,b03f5f7f11d50a3a]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\ StrongName\ Verification\ *,b77a5c561934e089]
