Answer 1

Copy file Microsoft.WITDataStore64.dll in folder C:\Windows\System32

Answer 2

MyTFSApp (windows client) nuget package Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient installed or Microsoft.WITDataStore32.dll added to the bin folder

MyTfsLibrary (class library with code accessing WorkItemStore) nuget package Microsoft.TeamFoundationServer.ExtendedClient installed

None of the above worked for me. I had to copy that file to my C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE folder (found this out by using procmon to see where my app was looking for it).
