Visual Studio does not see Team Explorer

Question

A few days ago I had to reinstall VS. So after uninstalling, I downloaded VS2010 Ultimate from MSDNAA and installed it. Everything went without any problems, but when I started VS, I found that there was no Team Explorer.

So, I downloaded TE from the Team Explorer link . But after installing TE, Visual Studio still does not see TE. There is no menu → View and menu → Tools → Options → Source control.

What should I do now?

Answer 1

Can you see Team Explorer, which is located on the tab along with the solution explorer (at the bottom of the solution browser window)? If you don’t click View → Command Explorer (Ctrl + M). From there, you can connect to your TFS instance.

Answer 2

I assume you are using TFS. Did you connect to the TFS instance using the "Command" menu → "Connect to the team foundation server"?

Answer 3

You need to download Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 from here:
