Visual Studio 2005 SP1 bug? with Office 2003 and 2007 side-by-side
After my recent install of Visual Studio 2005 SP1 I continued using the plugins in Excel and Project 2003 to access my work items in TFS. Unfortunately I am running into some nasty issues that probably have to do with my side-by-side installation of both Office 2003 and Office 2007. I am still using Office 2003 for my main tasks, still have to get used to the new ribbons. But after the install of SP1 I cannot work in Excel and Project 2003 anymore. A couple of issues I am having are in Excel:
TF84032: Team Foundation could not insert the work item list because there is data in the worksheet
that cannot be moved. Select a location where there is enough space to insert the list.
In an EMPTY excel!
And in Project 2003:
Publishing a simple task (just one) gives: "Cannot complete the operation. An unexpected error occurred"
In Excel 2007 it is working as expected, in Project 2007 it gives the same error as in Project 2003.
One of my colleagues doesn't have Office 2007 installed, but does have VS 2005 SP1 installed. His Office 2003 plugins for VSTS are working as expected....
UPDATE: It appears this is a bug in the process template I am using, specifically in the project mapping file. See my new post for more clarification.
