I installed TFS 2013 on my Windows server 2012 and I would like to transfer my projects from vss to tfs.

I downloaded the vss to tfs tool from [microsoft tool][1], but I was unable to install it because of compability mode, error message: "Windows Program Compatibility mode is on. Turn it off and then try Setup again"

According to this Buck Hodges blog post, you're not going to be able to do this in Windows Server 2012, and Microsoft isn't going to fix it. See the following comment:

... unfortunately, it is blocked in the installer. Right now we don't have plans to re-release it, so you would need to run it on Win7-based OS.

Incidentally, the post also addresses the question of upgrading to TFS 2013.

I would like to know if the upgrade tool will work with TFS 2013?

The documentation only mentions TFS 2010 and 2012. However, Hodges also addresses this:

... it should work with the caveat of what OS you install it on (see previous comment).

the solution for me was : i installed the tool on another machine with win server 2008 , convert the projects and than move them to the tfs 2013
