Mounting a Visual Source Safe Directory
Before you can mount a Visual Source Safe (VSS) filesystem, you need to install
VSS on your system. VSS is not provided with the IDE.
- Choose Versioning
Mount Generic Version Control System
from the main window.
- In the Version
Control System combo box in the Customizer dialog box, choose
the VSS configuration for your platform (or for the platform most
closely matching yours).
- In the Working Directory field, type or browse to
the directory where you would like to store local files.
- Set the User Name to your VSS user name.
- Ensure that the VSS Command points to
the whole path of your
ss.exe
executable.
- Set the VSS Project to the desired project
directory (for example
$/
or $/Current/Project
).
- In the SSDIR field, set the SSDIR environment variable to point to the appropriate
srcsafe.ini
file on your VSS server.
