When integrating with Microsoft Team Foundation Server, the TFS client m= ust be installed on your Enterprise Tester Server. TFS 2010 server is distr= ibuted either as an ISO image (via an msdn or technet subscription) or on D= VD. If you have an ISO file, you can either install a tool such as Vir= tual Clone Drive, to allow mounting the ISO image as a virtual drive, or al= ternatively if you are hosting Enterprise Tester in a virtual machine, your= virtualization administrator should be able to mount the ISO image on the = virtual machine for you.
The requirements are different depending on whether you are using a 32-b= it or a 64-bit application for Enterprise Tester.
For 32-bit TFS Client, more information on the installation proces= s can be found here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jimlamb/a= rchive/2010/04/06/installing-just-the-server-components-of-tfs-2010.aspx
If using a 32 bit version of TFS y= ou will need to ensure that the Enterprise Tester Application Pool has the = Advanced Setting Enable 32-Bit Applications set to True. This setting can be found in the General s= ection of the Advanced Settings.
Once you have installed the TFS Client, ensure t= hat the user defined in the Enterprise Tester Application Pool (by default = this is Network Service) has full access to the Team Foundation Cache Folde= r.
Default Path: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache"
Note: On some servers you will need to assign perm= issions to both the 3.0 and the Cache folders.
To do this right click on the Cache folder, view proper= ties, and then edit the permissions.
Give the defined user (as discussed above) full access to the Ca= che folder.
Restart IIS.
If you are using a 64bit-only application for Enterprise Tester, you wil= l find that the 32bit TFS client installs do not work. To get around this y= ou must install some component from the TFS 2010 server installation DVD/IS= O image.
The installation process for 64-bit TFS Client is outlined below.
This guide only applies if you have your application pool configured for= 64-bit only. If not, you should be OK installing the 32-bit TFS client (or= if the machine already has Visual Studio 2010 installed, for example, you = may find the files are already there).
To confirm, launch Start -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Infor= mation Services (IIS) Manager.
Expand the application pools node, and select the application pool being= used by Enterprise Tester. It is normally called Default App Pool<= /strong>.
Once selected, to the right click Advanced Settings.
If Enable 32-bit applications is set to Fa= lse, then you are using a 64-bit application pool.
TFS 2010 server is distributed either as an ISO image (via an msdn or te= chnet subscription) or on DVD.
If you have an ISO file, you can either install a tool such as Virtual C= lone Drive, to allow mounting the ISO image as a virtual drive, or alternat= ively if you are hosting Enterprise Tester in a virtual machine, your virtu= alization administrator should be able to mount the ISO image on the virtua= l machine for you.
In this case we are going to mount an ISO image using Virtual Clone Driv= e, and the image file is named "en_visual_studio_team_foundation_se= rver_2010_x86_x64_dvd_559671.iso" (obtained from the Microsof= t site, requires a technet/msdn subscription).
Once mounted, access the installation media:
Then navigate to the folder TFS-x64 and locate the exec= utable file setup.exe, and double-click to execute it.
Navigate through the first two steps of the install wizard.
On the third step, select Team Foundation Components. T= his will select everything, then un-tick Team Foundation Server, Team Foundation Server Proxy and Team Found= ation Build Service. This will just install the necessary componen= ts to connect a TFS server without actually installing the TFS server.
Continue to the next step to start the installation.
Once you have installed the TFS Client, ensure that the user define= d in the Enterprise Tester Application Pool (by default this is Network Ser= vice) has full access to the Team Foundation Cache Folder.
Default Path: "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache"
Note: On some servers you will need to assign perm= issions to both the 3.0 and the Cache folders.
To do this right click on the "Cache" folder, view properties, and then = edit the permissions.
Give the defined user (as discussed above) full access to the "Cache" fo= lder.
Restart IIS.
