Solution

  • I figured it out. It's an issue with tool between x32 and x64. You will need to add registry to fix this issue. copy below content in *.reg file and double click on file to install it to registry.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell] "PowerShellVersion"="4.0" "Vendor"="Microsoft Corporation" "Description"="This is a PowerShell snap-in that includes the Team Foundation Server cmdlets." "VendorIndirect"="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell,Microsoft" "DescriptionIndirect"="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell,This is a PowerShell snap-in that includes the Team Foundation Server cmdlets." "Version"="14.0.0.0" "ApplicationBase"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 Power Tools" "AssemblyName"="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerTools.PowerShell, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" "ModuleName"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerTools.PowerShell.dll" "CustomPSSnapInType"="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerTools.PowerShell.TFPSSnapIn"

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell] "PowerShellVersion"="4.0" "Vendor"="Microsoft Corporation" "Description"="This is a PowerShell snap-in that includes the Team Foundation Server cmdlets." "VendorIndirect"="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell,Microsoft" "DescriptionIndirect"="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell,This is a PowerShell snap-in that includes the Team Foundation Server cmdlets." "Version"="14.0.0.0" "ApplicationBase"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 Power Tools" "AssemblyName"="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerTools.PowerShell, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" "ModuleName"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2015 Power Tools\Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerTools.PowerShell.dll" "CustomPSSnapInType"="Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerTools.PowerShell.TFPSSnapIn"

    Don't forget to change PowerShellVersion and TFS Version based on your setup. It won't work if there is a version mismatch. I found it from http://www.it1me.com/it-answers?id=35292971&ttl=TFS+Build%3A+%60Microsoft.TeamFoundation.PowerShell%26%2339%3B+is+not+installed+on+this+computer
