I've removed and re-installed Dexterity SCCS 12.0 several times today. I had a working version yesterday. I removed it initially because I was curious if a later version was going to solve a problem of not connecting with TFS - side note, that issue may be because our TFS is on a separate domain. Back to the matter at hand. I have gone back to DSCCS 12 because the control panel applet will not open on later versions, but now the service will not start, citing FileNotFoundException. See included images for more.

RE: Dexterity SCCS Service Won't Start : FileNotFoundException

I found there were dump files in the CrashDump folder for my user. I opened one in Visual Studio and started debugging using the Action pane available - I chose Debug with Mixed.

This gave me more details about the exception which occurred. It presented a specific version of a "Version Control File" for Team Foundation Server. I recognized that this could mean the DSCCS utility required that specific version of Visual Studio installed on my local workstation as the utility has options for using TFS 2010 or 2012 or 2013 - my workstation at that point only had Visual Studio 2015.

So my resolution was to install Visual Studio 2012. After doing so the service started but then stopped immediately. The final phase was to open Visual Studio, connect to TFS and map the collection to the same a local folder I had previously specified in the DSCCS utility.
