Can Team Foundation Server be installed on "Longhorn"? If so, are there any special steps required?

I haven't tried this and you don't mention what the problem is so I'm going to guess it has something to do with the SharePoint Services portion of TFS. Since Longhorn has 3.0 of WSS and TFS is expecting to find 2.0, you may need to install 2.0 by hand first before attempting TFS install. I'm pretty sure I've run across a whitepaper or article describing how to run WSS 3.0 and 2.0 side by side. Hope this helps.

I am currently trying to install TFS on Windows Server 2008 beta 3. What I have found is that TFS expects to find WSS 2.0 sp2, as you say. I tried to install WSS 2.0 sp2 on Windows Server 2008 beta 3, but that failed. The compability protection thing came up with no option to proceed anyway. Maybe this compability thing could be disabled somehow? If that is not possible, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until TFS "Orcas" beta 2 is available, cause according bharry's blog support forWindows Server 2008will come in beta 2 of TFS "Orcas". More about that here: http://blogs.msdn.com/bharry/archive/2007/04/05/update-on-team-foundation-server-roadmap.aspx But if anyone has a solution, I'd be more than happy to know about it. Cheers.
