Greetings all,
A while back, I installed Beta 1 of VS.NET 2005 to a machine that
already had VS.NET 2003 installed. Today, I tried to open a C# project
with integrated Source Control settings through Visual Studio 2003.
When I pulled it up, I got a messagebox that said, "The beta period has
expired." The only beta I had on the machine was for VS.NET 2005, so I
went ahead and uninstalled that.
Now, I appear to have lost all of the Source Control capability in my
VS.NET 2003. When I go into Tools->Options->Source Control, it will no
longer allow me to set my Login ID or access any Advanced properties.
Furthermore, whenever I try to open a project that's already checked
into SourceSafe in VS 2003, I get a message saying that the
mssccprj.scc file couldn't be located. The file is there, and I could
open it just fine before I uninstalled VS.NET 2005 Beta 1 (before the
beta expired, that is).
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? It seems to me that
during the VS 2005 uninstall, the Source Control integration options
were also removed. If that's the case, how do I get them back into my
dev environment? I checked the VS.NET 2003 setup and I didn't see
anything along those lines. I'm really hoping a complete
uninstall/reinstall isn't needed. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks,
Cody Powell

No response necessary here, as I've figured it out. Uninstalling and
reinstalling Visual Studio .NET 2003 didn't fix the problem, but
uninstalling and reinstalling SourceSafe did. Once I did that,
everything was suddenly better.
