I originally posted this at the general forum but didn't get any response so
I thought this might be more appropriate. I'm trying to work with a TFS
sample from the VS 2005 SDK but it fails to run right out of the gate. I get
the error:
Could not load file or assembly
Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTrackingClient ... Strong name validation
failed.
I've read some posts that seem to point to puting the files into the GAC but
that fails on the insert for the gacutil function for the same reason of not
having strong name validation on the assemblies. I've also seen posts that
say the assembiles for TFS should be in my "privateassemblies" folder but
after installing the SDK the assemblies only exist where the installer put
them (\Program Files\Visual Studio 2005
SDK\2007.02\VisualStudioIntegration\Common\Assemblies) which makes me wonder
if I missed a step in the install.
I'm very confused since I assumed this would have been a simple download,
install, and run. The SDK download lacks any special instructions so I
assume there shouldn't be anything special on my part that needs to be done.
However, the simple download, install, and run is not working.

I'm not sure if this is the correct fix but it would appear that installing
Project Explorer resolves the issue. As near as I can figure my assumption
that installing the SDK would allow me to run the samples from the SDK was
incorrect.
