Installing the Add-in

TeamCity VS add-in version should correspond to the version of the TeamCity server it connects to. Connections to TeamCity servers with different versions are generally not supported.

Download the add-in available in the TeamCity Tools section of the My Settings&Tools page (to open the page click the arrow next to your username in the top right corner of the TeamCity web UI and select My Settings&Tools) and follow the installation wizard. Please, close all running instances of Visual Studio before starting add-in installation (initial or upgrade).

Requirements

Please see Supported Platforms and Environments page for the system requirements for integrations with different version control systems or coverage tools.
