Solution

  • No, it's impossible. As the official doc declared clearly:

    It works with Visual Studio 2017.

    This release requires a computer with Visual Studio 2017 and all of the Visual Studio system requirements.

    You have to use Visual Studio with this Microsoft Team Foundation Version Control Windows Shell Extension.
