For many PowerBuilder users who are using older versions of PowerBuilder with TFS and are wondering whether the latest PowerBuilder 2019 R2 would work with the latest Azure DevOps Server 2019, this article shows how you could achieve that.

1. Download and install Team Explorer for Visual Studio 2013

If you have already installed Visual Studio 2013 on your machine, you can ignore this step as you should already have Temp Explorer in Visual Studio.

2. Download and install Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2013 & 2015 MSSCCI Provider 32-bit

Make sure you install the 32-bit provider. As PowerBuilder is a 32-bit program, it won’t work with a 64-bit provider.
