Install Team Explorer for VS2012


I've a VS2012 installation that doesn't have any Team Menu. Since it lacks Team Explorer I tried to install it, but it seems like it's not available to download nowadays.

I could found a language pack here, and among the related links below you can see

Visual Studio Team Explorer 2012

However this link is broken.

How can I manage to install Team Explorer for this VS2012? I can't change my VS to any newer version so I have to stick to it.

Solution

  • Because of the list of elements in the VS2012 installer, I guessed that it would be posible to install Team Explorer using the installer.

    However, I have not the VS2012 Installer because it was not installed by my, but by my company IT department.

    Then, I managed to get a VS2012 Express edition installer, and used it, hoping that it would include Team Explorer. In fact it does, so now I've it available for use in my VS2012 Premium edition.

    For those in my same situation, I found the ISO in this post.
