  1. Download VS 2008 SP1 to a suitable place and install it as per step 1 in the link.
  2. Download and install VS 2008 Team Explorer as per step 2. (This is an ISO so you'll need to extract this to a suitable place and install from there.)
  3. Reinstall VS 2008 SP1. (I have not yet encountered the error described in the article at this point.)
  4. Download and install VS Team System 2008 SP1 Forward Compatibility Update for TFS 2010.
  5. Reboot.
  6. Open BIDS, go to Tools > Connect to Team Foundation Server and connect to the TFS server.
