FIX: An unexpected error occurred while trying to add a web part to a project portal in TFS 2005

February 19th, 2008 · No Comments · Downloads, Issues and Hotfixes, Project Management with TFS, Team Foundation Server, TFS 2005, TFS Administration, TFS Project Portal and Team Communication

Due to a lot of requests about this pretty common problem.

Steps you did:

  1. You browsed for a web part:

    Step1_BrowseForWebparts

  2. You selected one and hit “Add”:

    Step2_AddWebpart

  3. You got the error message: “An unexpected error occurred.”

    Step3_AnUnexpectedErrorHasOccured

This is a know issue with WSS 2.0 and a hot fix [1] can be requested at Microsoft which corrects this behavior.

I tried this with various customers and we could then successfully add new web parts after applying it.

Enjoy!
