Last weekend I spend some time installing Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 and Team Foundation Server 2010 beta2. I now have a nice server with 12 Gb of RAM so I have some space to run virtual environments side-by-side. :-)
Installation went smoothly but configuration of TFS single server failed with the following error:
“TF255040: Install SQL Server Reporting Services or at a minimum SQL Client Connectivity Tools on the application tier to ensure Analysis Services object model is present for warehouse processing.”
So I started the SQL Server 2008 setup and thought I fixed the error by installing Reporting Services and SQL client tools, but the error remained. The good news about such a specific error code is that you can use it in your search query and so did I.
I found the solution in this MSDN forum.
The solution was easy, just restart the TFS configuration tool:
“The problem in beta2 is we scan for those assemblies once and don't re-scan so after you install to SQL client tools, you need to close and restart the wizards.”
Clear error code, easy solved. Let’s move on!
