I have TFS 2010 installed on the TFS server, and VS 2012 installed on my workstation, and that's working great except we have some check-in policies that rely on TFPT, and I have not yet installed TFPT on my workstation. I'm wondering if I can just install the newer version, or if I'd have to rely on the older version until TFS is upgraded to 2012.
We use VS2012 and point it at both TFS2012 (in the cloud) and a TFS2010 instance. I have TFPT for 2012 installed and everything works OK. I'm not an advanced user of TFPT.
