What do I need to install to get Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll?

Question

Do I simply need to install the VS2010 SDK?

Is there such a thing as the TFS2010 SDK, and if so, would that be the thing I need to install, and if so, where can I get it?

On Microsoft's "Extend Visual Studio" web site, I saw a link to example code for the "TFS 2010 SDK" but I could not find the TFS 2010 SDK itself.

The reason I am asking: I am building a codebase that is not mine, which depends on Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll .

For anyone looking for this in Visual Studio 2012, you can add references without an external download:

Great package! It's also needed for other TFS package ("Microsoft.TeamFoundation.ObjectModel") to work. – Adam Wiernicki Jun 09 '16 at 12:35

You need to install the TFS Team Explorer (i.e. the TFS client tools).

Installing the VS2010 SDK will add documentation etc., but the assemblies come from the client itself.

I found them in `C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies` on my machine. – Cheeso Nov 17 '10 at 16:30
@Cheeso they should also be in the GAC... as normal ReferenceAssemblies are only used for development & build. – Richard Nov 17 '10 at 16:37
This assembly did seem to be included with Visual Studio Team Explorer, but there are others that don't seem to readily available anywhere (that I could find). See my [SO question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16545757/where-is-the-tfs-2010-api-dll-microsoft-teamfoundation-framework-server-dll) for one example. – Kenny Evitt May 14 '13 at 14:29
