I have Visual Studio 2010 installed in my system. I'm surprised to find both Team explorer option and Team menu is not available. I googled and some found links provided below to install Team explorer in VS2010 but nothing worked out.

I need team explorer option/Tools menu in VS2010. Any suggestion/help would be appreciated.
Team Solution installer for Visual studio 2010 can be downloaded from the below provided link
https://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-Visual-Studio-Team-Explorer-2010/3001-2383_4-75450987.html
Install the setup.exe file. Once the installation is done, restart the Visual studio and you could find the Team menu/team explorer.

I installed the free version of ApexSQL which is awesome in SSMS, but I really don't want all those menus in Visual Studio. I went to add-in manager and unchecked them, but the Startup column is checked and disabled so every time I restart Visual Studio they come back.
Is it possible to permanently remove the ApexSQL menus from Visual Studio?
If you have ApexSql installed and you don't want those pesky menus in Visual Studio do 2 things.
In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Add-in Manager and uncheck the ApexSql addins. Close Visual Studio.
In Windows 7, there's a hidden folder C:\ProgramData. In Windows Explorer go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns folder. Edit each of the *.MsvsLoader.Addin files and set <LoadBehavior> to 0. If you can't save the files directly, you'll have to save the files to a different location (desktop maybe) and then copy them back into C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\MSEnvShared\AddIns because there's some Admin privilege required.
Now when you restart VS those ApexSQL menus should be gone
The issue of crowding menus is resolved in latest releases, now all ApexSQL add-ins are under the main ApexSQL menu as sub-menus. They look like this now:
If you don't need ApexSQL add-ins in VS or SSMS you can simply choose not to integrate them with VS or SSMS during the installation, just check out SSMS ot VS version in which you want the add-ins integrated
Note: To get this dialog in which you can check the wanted integration you need to use individual installers not the main one. You can find all individual installers on this link
Disclaimer: I work for ApexSQL as a Support Engineer
For Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7, I attempted #Chris Bayles suggestion and do not see ApexSql addins under Tools->Add-in Manager.
I followed #Jerome2606's pointer to https://knowledgebase.apexsql.com/remove-add-ins-just-visual-studio-retaining-sql-server-management-studio/ and it worked for me, but only when I removed the parent ApexSQL folder as well.
Summary of what is required to do:
Remove folder
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ApexSQL
Depending on the version of Visual Studio, the version number in the default installation location will be different:
Product name Version number
Visual Studio 2010 Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0
Visual Studio 2012 Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0
Visual Studio 2013 Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0
Visual Studio 2015 Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0
Select and delete the ApexSQL folder and its contents.
Open Command Prompt as an administrator, then run
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
Please note the command is different for Visual Studio 2012, 2013, and 2015.
If you are using SSMS v18.0 then you can disable the apex features in following way.
You can find the ApexSQL.Complete.Addin.SSMS18.pkgdef file from following path.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 18\Common7\IDE\Extensions\ApexSQL Complete
Then open this file in Notepad++ Administrator mode and comment the content.

Few days ago i had to reinstall VS. So after uninstallation, I downloaded VS2010 Ultimate from MSDNAA and installed it. Everything went without any trouble, but when i run VS I found, that there wasn't a Team Explorer.
So i downloaded TE from Team Explorer link. But after installation TE, Visual Studio still doesn't see TE. There is nothing in Menu -> View and Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Source Control.
What should I do now?
Are you able to see Team Explorer which is tabbed along with the solution explorer (At the bottom of the solution explorer window)? If not click view->Team Explorer (Ctrl+M). From there you should be able to connect to your TFS instance.
When you install the Visual Studio, then Team Explorer comes by default with VS.
You can check Team Explorer in View->TeamExplorer
If you do not found Team Viewer in your View then you can download it from below link
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/devops/2017/04/05/reintroducing-the-team-explorer-standalone-installer/
or you can download it from vs installer.
For future readers:
I was missing some menus from the Team Explorer side panel.
what fixed it was resetting user settings by manually running devenv.com /resetuserdata from the visual studio folder.
To me it was:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.com /resetuserdata
Notice: this will reset your settings, so make sure you import / export it first (if you require anything specific) .
I'm assuming your using TFS. Have you connected to a TFS instance using the menu Team -> Connect to team foundation server?
You need to download Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 from here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=329
I downloaded an add-in for VS (.vsix) and went to tools>add-in manager... and it doesn't offer a browse for add-ins button. I looked on the extensions one too and didn't see anything that would let me add it.
Simple question, I know, but couldn't find anything on the net that would help me. I come from VBA.
I'm using Windows XP and VS 2010 Professional.
From the answer on this question on Super User:
VSIX is a Visual Studio 2010 extension installer. You must have Visual Studio 2010 in order to install them, but you should be able to install it by double-clicking the .vsix file. Alternatively you should be able to install it from within the VS Extension Manager (Tools->Extension Manager)
I'm looking at the MSDN subscription comparison (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/subscriptions/subscriptionschart.aspx) and am a bit confused. Regarding VS2010 Premium and Ultimate: what is the difference between the two? Both offer TFS but only Ultimate comes with Team Explorer. Can you use TFS without Team Explorer?
Ultimate comes with Team Explorer "Eaglestone" - an eclipse plugin. All of the versions offering TFS come with the visual studio Team Explorer.
The answer is a bit outdated now so here is an update and some context: Team Explorer is the rich client for Team Foundation Server. All Visual Studio 2010 (and later) editions come with Team Explorer built in. For previous versions of Visual Studio (2005 and 2008) it came as a seperate install. You can still download it for free from the Microsoft website and install it even if you don't have Visual Studio installed. Team Explorer "Eaglestone" is now branded as Team Explorer Everywhere; it is an equivalent rich client, but instead of running as a plug-in to Visual Studio, it is a plug-in for Eclipse. There used to be a seperate license fee for Team Explorer Everywhere, but it is now available for free.
I just installed VS2010 and I want to connect to TFS, But I don't have any team explorer options.
I searched for Team Explorer and I found this link that states that Team Explorer comes preinstalled in VS2010 Team Suit.
I downloaded VS2010 Pro and don't have team explorer and can't find it anywhere.
Any ideas? Tips?
Thanks
I think there's been a misunderstanding down MS naming conventions.
All versions of Visual Studio 2010 have the ability to conenct to TFS built in, there is no longer a separate install (what was previously called Team Explorer).
What the Ultimate edition gets with what is now called Team Explorer (codename Eaglestone) is a standalone rich client for accessing TFS.
If you downloaded VS2010 Pro...you didn't download a version that came with Team Explorer. You need to re-download VS2010 Team System. You can grab it from MSDN or download it from:
Visual Studio 2010 Team System Beta 1 Download
UPDATE
As of Beta 2, Microsoft renamed versions a little. TFS Connectivity is now included with 'Ultimate'.
It looks like Team Explorer is also available as a separate download. The VS 2010 Beta 2 version is here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=CA86215B-A824-44E7-B4C3-982C7ECEA46D&displaylang=en
The RTM version of Team Explorer is here: Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer 2010 - ISO
VS2010 Pro is a different release from VS2010 Team Suit and it doesn't contain anything that has to do with TFS. If you want to connect to TFS you need to get the VS2010 Team Suit release.
This has been the norm ever since VS2005.
You can download Visual Studio Team Explorer (or the command line tools) from the following:
Team Explorer 2013
Team Explorer 2012
Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010
Team Explorer 2008
Team Explorer 2005
