Failed to initialize the tfs api library

Hello all,

 

Every time I launch any TestComplete project, it is giving me this error

 

If I click okay, then I get "Failed to initialize the TFS API library".

I don't have TFS or VS installed on this machine and I don't plan to use TFS.

So I am wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of this.

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

    Under Tools -> Options -> Source Control, it appears that you might have that set on at least one machine.  The attachment to source control is then stored in the MDS and/or PJS file.  

     

    Probably the easiest way to correct this is, in the project explorer, right click on the project suite, select Source Control -> Unbind from Team Foundation Server.

     

    If it's not on the project suite, do the same for the Project file itself.

      Thank you so much for your quick reply.

       

      Unfortunately, I can't unbind it from TFS since the options are grayed out but I did switch the Source Control from TFS to SCC API Providers Plugin Under Tools -> Options -> Source Control and that stopped the errors from occurring.

       

      I am not sure if this is a permanent solution, but I think it will do for now.

      Thank you again!
