As some of our users have been aware there are some issues when doing an in-place upgrade to Team Foundation Server 2008 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.
We are sorry that this issue has arisen and have been working on a fix, I am now pleased to say that we have a process in place that should fix existing upgrades and also allows us to add it to the installer so future upgrades will not suffer the problem.
The issue shows itself after an upgrade to TFS 2008 with existing SFTS 1.2 projects showing a 404 error when navigating to the root of the Team Portal. This has been caused by the removal of files required for the WSS template. The steps to fix the problem are:
1. Backup the following folders:
Program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\Template\Layouts
Program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\60\Template\1033
2. Extract the attached zip into Program files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions. The zip contains the relevant paths to the files it needs to copy.
3. Run an IIS Reset.
This should then restore your previous Team Portals.
