# Procedure for Installing Team System

By Roy Osherove June 19, 2006 In [Team System](https://osherove.com/blog/category/team-system), [Visual Studio](https://osherove.com/blog/category/visual-studio)

**Historical article** · Originally published June 19, 2006; technical details may be outdated.

The first time I Installed Team System, it took about a day. I had to learn all this stuff the hard way, and the docs were just too darn "wordy". So I made a small log file of what I had to do **before** I could install Team System, and what I went through **while** I was installing it.

Turns out, if you know what's going to happen, it ain't so bad.

It could be worse.

It could be an Oracle installer.
