Scrum for Team System v2.2 and 64-bit Sharepoint (WSS or MOSS)

A few support queries and tweets have come up recently about our support for 64-bit Sharepoint (WSS or MOSS) with Scrum for Team System v2.2 and TFS.  The crux of the issue seems to be the ability of the installer to detect the location of WSS as it is not looking in the correct place in the registry to support both 32 and 64-bit installers, this prevents the installation proceeding on 64-bit Sharepoint environments.

Future versions will correct this but here are the manual installation steps:

Copy Conchango.TeamSystem.Scrum.Sharepoint.wsp from your TFS server (%ProgramFiles%\Conchango\Scrum for Team System\SFTS WSS Template or see attached) to your MOSS environment.

Add the solution to Sharepoint:

stsadm.exe -o addsolution -filename "<path>\Conchango.TeamSystem.Scrum.Sharepoint.wsp"

Deploy the solution to web farm:

stsadm.exe -o deploysolution -name "Conchango.TeamSystem.Scrum.Sharepoint.wsp" -local -allowgacdeployment -allcontenturls -allowcaspolicies

Please also reference my earlier post: http://blogs.conchango.com/stuartpreston/archive/2009/01/21/scrum-for-team-system-v2-x-and-distributed-setups-remote-wss-or-moss.aspx for some things to be aware of in this scenario.

Update: Thanks Roger Wilson for pointing out the -force option on the deploysolution command shouldn't be used.  I've removed it.

You really shouldn't use the -force option on the deploysolution command. This will cause stsadm to report that it successfully deployed the solution and supress any error messages. This could leave you scratching your head wondering why something is not working.
