Adding 2010 Power Tools to VS Premium

With Team Explorer being included in the Visual Studio Premium and Ultimate install, you may wish that the TFS Power Tools are also included. Well they can be. You must modify four files located in the VS disk Setup folder but it can be done. Start by backing up the LocData.ini, vs_setup.pdi, baseline.dat, and setup.sdb files. Following these instructions will add the power tool directly into the install.

setup\LocData.ini

Add the bold lines below:
[gencomp89,{12CDA52C-7A8F-4785-8A22-53C87393FEE0}]
ComponentName=Microsoft Help Viewer 1.0 x64
[gencomp459,{12CDA52C-7A8F-4785-8A22-53C87393FEE0}]
ComponentName=Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2010 Power Tools

[VS Custom]
ProdDesc=Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Premium


setup\vs_setup.pdi
In the [Complete Component List] add
GFN_TFS Power Tools

In the [Complete Dependency List] and [Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Premium - ENU] list add
gencomp459,{12CDA52C-7A8F-4785-8A22-53C87393FEE0}


setup\baseline.dat
In the [Complete Component List] add
GFN_TFS Power Tools

At the end, just before [VS Custom] add the following. You may want to change the value in the “CommandLine”
setting. This will set which power tool features are installed.

Copy MSI to VS Install Source

Now in the WCU directory of your install source directory (ie. en_visual_studio_2010_premium_x86_dvd_509357\WCU) create a TFPT folder. Copy the 2010 power tools to this directory and rename it tfsPowerTools2010.msi.
