In most cases this error is due to cache problem on the user’s local machine where this tool is being run from. To resolve this issue

1. Close any instances of Visual Studio if open.

2. Delete everything from this location C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Team Foundation\3.0\Cache

 

Hope this helps!
