TFS Server plugin fails after upgrade from TFS2012 to TFS2015 RC

After resolving those issues in the correct ProcessConfiguration file, the plugin was working again (and, TFS could also...

In the RC release you can find the DLL in c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\TeamFoundation\Team Explorer. It's kind of an obscure place. We plan to provide a NuGet package...
