I encountered the error below when trying to create a new project under TFS. TFS was a brand new install and I was making sure the installation didn’t have any problems.
TF30177: Team Project Creation Failed
Error
TF30004: The New Team Project Wizard encountered an unexpected error while initializing the Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Reporting plug-in.
Explanation
TF30171: The Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Reporting plug-in used to create the new team project could not be initialized and returned the following error: TF30224: Failed to retrieve projects from the report server. Please check that the SQL Server Reporting Services Web and Windows services are running and you have sufficient privileges for creating a project..
User Action
Contact your Team Foundation Server administrator.
After experimenting with permissions for the TFS service and TFS reporting accounts for the local machine, reporting services and WSS, to no avail, I finally came accross Jason Barile’s blog about installing VS 2008 SP1 AFTER installing Team Explorer.
