Installing Team Explorer for VSTF without the VSTF DVD

On my recent post about Finding Team Explorer someone asked about how to get it when all they have is the VSTD (Visual Studio Team Developer) DVD.

Basically Visual Studio shipped before TFS, so the client isn’t on those DVDs. However, you can get it from our download center. CodePlex, Microsoft’s new code sharing site, uses TFS as the source control, so they have a good set of instructions for downloading, extracting, and installing the client.

(Thanks to Brian Harry for pointing out the CodePlex install instructions)
