&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"&gt;Yes the current release is built for 2005. I got partway through updating it for 2010 but got pulled away. I believe there isn’t anything to different other than some new references and updated uri scheme.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:9.0pt; font-family:"&gt;You need to have &amp;quot;Team Explorer 2005&amp;quot; installed on your system, if I'm not wrong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have the same problem on Windows 7, .Net 4, Visual Studio 2010, TFS 2010. Very irritating... here is event log message:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The description for Event ID 0 from source Application cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The following information was included with the event:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.TeamFoundation, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.&lt;br /&gt;the message resource is present but the message is not found in the string/message table&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><author>lelouma</author><pubDate>Thu, 21 Jul 2011 20:24:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">New Post: Error executing the tfsalert on windows 7 20110721082448P</guid></item><item><title>New Post: Error executing the tfsalert on windows 7</title><link>http://tfsalert.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=70870</link><description>&lt;div style="line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have the same issue running in win 2003.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You are right, I was trying with the code in Main.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, as you've advised, I have compiled the code in Dev (It didnt compile initially, gave an error that EXE does not contain static 'Main'). Compiled in Release mode and somehow, I've got a compiled exe. I can see that, now the server connection is integrated into the &amp;quot;Settings&amp;quot; rather than the config file. coool...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You said, &amp;quot;&lt;strong&gt;but you could just modify the file that is isolated storage&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;quot;. Where is this isolated storage? I mean, when I set the server connections and eventtype filters, where are they getting saved? I have noticed that the expressions are not getting saved and everytime I exit the TFSAlert, it clears the saved expressions. I need to recreate them everytime. Any workaround for this ?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I am not running .NET4. Running .NET3, at present.&lt;/p&gt;
