I'm running Windows 11 in Parallels for Mac on an M2 chip. I had to install an ARM compatible processor version of Windows 11 and Visual Studio Enterprise.

However, there seems to be a plug-in supporting Team Foundation Server missing after a fresh install. I connect to my tfs server, but when I try to establish a connection with my collection on that server, or even visit the Team Explorer window, I get this...

Followed by this... enter image description here

In options, I see that GIT is the only plug-in option available. enter image description here

I'm trying to get to my legacy .NET Framework code on an old TFS server. Is this plugin installable? Is it deprecated? Is there no ARM version? Was there an installation option I missed?

I'm not sure how to resolve this issue.

I've tried installing 17.4 but it had the same issue. On my old intel chip MAC using 17.4, I was able to access my TFS server code. But on my new M2 MAC this plugin doesn't show up. I did find a help article that had a picture in it like the following which seems to have the option I'm wanting... enter image description here

But I don't see why that plugin option is missing or how to add it.

  • I also clicked on the help button in the error message, but the webpage wasn't found. – Mikhael Loo Feb 22 '23 at 16:49

    There isn't an ARM version of the TFS plugin. See and add your vote to [TFVC tooling ARM64 support](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/TFVC-tooling-ARM64-support/10137747?entry=suggestion&space=8). – Jonathan Dodds Feb 27 '23 at 00:30
  • Thanks @JonathanDodds. As a workaround, I was able to install Visual Studio Teams Explorer 2022 x64 (Despite warning messages) to check out my TFS code on ARM. Now I can open the code in Visual Studio Enterprise 17.5 ARM. Not ideal. I did cast a vote at the link you provided to have the TFS integration added to Visual Studio 17.5 ARM. (The documentation seems to recommend remoting into an intel VM) – Mikhael Loo Feb 27 '23 at 22:00
