From now on I want to write about errors I had to deal with. All of them will be filed under the "Event viewer" category.

When you try to install the Visual Studio 2008 Team Foundation Server (TFS) and get this error you should check the following:
- Are the SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services installed?
- Are they installed on the same machine as the TFS?
- Are the SQL Server 2005 Services enabled?
- Did you use SQL Server 2005 Express? TFS 2008 doesn't support that...
By the way you need to install SP2 for the SQL Server and you have to use the following Collation at the installation: CI and AS. You can't change that for system databases after installation using "ALTER DATABASE".
TF30170
If you are using TFS 2008 with Windows SharePoint Services 3 (WSS 3) and you try to create a Team Project with Visual Studio 2005 you have to ensure that you
- have Visual Studio 2005 SP1 installed at your client and that
- you have installed the fix: VS80sp1-KB932544-X86-ENU.exe
If not you are getting the error: "The plugin Microsoft.ProjectCreationWizard.Portal failed during task SharePointPortal from group Portal."
