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.

Why automate?  I do automated testing because there's only so much a human being can do and remain healthy.  Sleep is a requirement.  So, while people sleep, automation that I create does what I've described above in order to make sure that nothing gets past the final defense of the testing group.

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!
