How to update a customized process template to access new features in multiple Team Projects in TFS 2015 RTM?

Question

I read these links on the official Microsoft page Update a customized process template to access new features :

• http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2012/05/31/how-to-configure-features-for-dozens-of-team-projects.aspx
• https://features4tfs.codeplex.com/

When I try to execute Features4tfs.2015 in debug I get this exception System.NotSupportedException: Specified method is not supported. at Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Integration.Server.CommonStructureService.Microsoft.Tea‌​‌​mFoundation.Framework.Server.ITeamFoundationService.ServiceStart(TeamFoundation‌​Re‌​questContext systemRequestContext)

on this call

ProjectFeatureProvisioningService.GetFeatures(...).

Any idea?

Here is a solution proposed by Microsoft to solve the problem with features4tfs on TFS 2015 RTM :

insert this line

deploymentHostProperties.PlugInDirectory = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles), @"Microsoft Team Foundation Server 14.0\Application Tier\TFSJobAgent\Plugins");

just after this line (line 68)

TeamFoundationServiceHostProperties deploymentHostProperties = new TeamFoundationServiceHostProperties();

After that it works perfectly on TFS 2015 RTM.
