TF86001: Team Foundation was unable to load the Office AddIn


After dealing with the daunting install process and getting it right, now I'm able to create projects and work with most of the items, however I found a new issue while trying to open any of the Excel sheets included in the default project team solution structure from WSS and I get that error, funny thing is that this only happens with XL files, since I can open Word and Project files with no issues


Here's what I'm running on:

Server: Windows Server 2003 sp1, SQL 2005 Sep CTP (data, analysis and reporting services), VSTS Server Foundation beta3, WSS sp2

Client: Windows Server 2003 sp1, Office 2003 Pro sp2, VS2005 Release Candidate, VS Team Explorer, SQL 2005 Sep CTP (data services only)


Any help will be greatly appreciated

Repairing visual studio tools for office should fix the problem. I think you installed office 2003 after VS Team Explorer.

thx for your reply
this is my install order in the client:

1. Windows Server 2003 sp1
2. SQL Server 2005 Sep CTP
3. Visual Studio 2005 RC
4. Office 2003 sp2
5. Visual Studio Team Explorer

should I reinstall Visual Studio 2005 RC (which is the one that installs vs tools for office)?

thx again

If you repair Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime From the add remove programs in the conrol panel will fix the problem. 100% sure

Hi!

Hi!

Both problems were solved by installing ".NET Programmability Support" for Excel from the Office Setup....

Repairing visual studio tools for office should fix the problem, I had the same problem.

I repaired Visual Studio for Office and I still get TF80042 errors when I try to open a Team Query with Excel.

Any other suggestions?

Verify that you have the following

1. Excel 2003

2. PIA's intalled (.Net Programmability support) as part of Excel

If every thing is good.

If you have .Net 1.1 or previous versions installed, and if you don't need it, try un-installing them, below is the list of candidates to consider

1 - Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1

2 - Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1 (KB867460)

3 - Microsoft .NET Framework SDK (English) 1.1

4 - Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP3 Developer

Then please re-pair "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Runtime" from your Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs

If the problem occurs in :

Excel 2003 --> you have to repair "Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime"

Project 2003 --> you have to install/repair ".NET Programmability Support" in Project

For me It works on several computers.
