templateuploader2.exe error

I have gotten through all of my errors during this install until I got an error for the templateuploader2.exe. There error is:

Error 32000. The Commandline "{PATH}\templateuploader2.exe"{SERVER} BisDB "{PATH}\MsfAgile_new.zip" "{PATH}\MsfAgile_Metadata.xml"

When I run this command through the command prompt I get:

Error: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

The paths are all correct, the database does exist, I have verified the permissions to the files and executables, and the zip file doesn't appear to be corrupt.

I am running a single tier architecture with 2003 server. I am unsure of my CTP release because I got the dvds in a set from a training class I took, but I am pretty sure they are NOT the latest versions. But I would assume that it should be possible to install this software without the latest version, right? Also, something that should probably be noted is that I am running this on a laptop that doesn't exactly meet the minimum hw requirements.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I have been trying to get TFS running for over a week now and have run into almost every problem that is posted on this site.

Thanks in advance!

This looks like an ordinary timeout. The template uploader uses some web services to upload the template and it looks like the webservice request is timing out.

I have had similar problems when uploading my custom templates.

You might try to change this timeout value in the machine config to work arround the problem.
alter the processModel node and change the timeout to be something larger then the default.: e.g set it to timeout after 5 minutes:

<processModel timeout="300" />

Hope this helps
