Does anyone know where I can download/order an evaluation copy of VSS2005?
I'm looking to implement the product for our development team here in Q1 of
2006 and I'd like to get some evaluation time in on the product.
Please let me know.

first a meta-question: i looked casually just now and found 4 groups that
seem to be about VSS, that is visual source safe. moreover, there are fresh
postings each week in all of them. how is one to know which group to watch
and/or post to?

I get the "File or project not found" error.  When I investigate and run
analyze and fix, the file it cannot seem to locate is the version.dat file.  
The utility thinks it is under a folder one level higher than the data
folder.  It is really under the data folder.  

I have one VSS database, and I want to assign readonly right to some users on
some perticular project, and some projects for ReadWrite. how can I do it? I
use VSS 6D.

Is there a Visual SourceSafe SERVER 2005 and where is it located?
Visual Studio 2005 install?
or is it just the Visual SourceSafe Client install?

I can't figure this out.  We have an asp.net site, added to source control,
and installation and checkouts and all that.  It appears to be working so I
am hoping this is a configuration issue.
Visual Studio .net 2003 - VSS 2005 (I first tried 6.0d, same problem).

I'm writing a program that audits other systems for the users that have
access, plus which of those users are administrators.  I need to perform this
task on a VSS database.  I've seen APIs and sample code that describe how to
log in to a VSS database and perform tasks on the ...

I am a database developer and I have to mantain lots of SQL SP's/Views/UDF
etc....I have previously used VSS to check in the SQL scripts.  I have now
joined a new company, with no Source Control software in place and fellow
developers are always changing code :( AHHHH!!!

I think I've found a bug in VSS2005:
1) Be sure that "Use read-only flag for files that are not checked out"
option is enabled.
2) Choose a file from your SourceSafe project.

I am using sourcesafe among many developers and I get a very annoying error.
Always when I compile my .net solution, sourcesafe try to add the .pdb file
generated to source control, but I do not want to add this kind of files to
it.

Was working with VSS6.d and Visual Studio 6 (VB) long time - no crash.
Installed VSS2005 (Client and Server) also on the same system.
Now maintaining old VB6 after 3 to 5 Checkouts/Checkins the whole VS6
environment crashes when comparing version or checking out or checking in

Prior to running analyze with the fix option I had a section in my database
that had multiple files - each with a filename in excess of 75 characters
long - and the differences in the filenames was not apparent till after
character 70 (don't ask - I didn't name them). So the ...

We have a number of users using VSS 6.0 and we have purchased a license for
each developer.  We are looking at upgrading to VSS 2005.  Can we use the
licenses we already purchased for V6.0 VSS for VSS 2005 or do we have to
upgrade each 6.0 license at the VSS 2005 upgrade cost?

how do I obtain the 6.0.99.55 version of the Ssscc.dll (as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;821419)?
I tried to install the VSS 6 SP6, but the Ssscc.dll version is only
6.0.98.48?!

We've been using the ssauto.h interface to interface with VSS in our own
tools.  There were a few hiccups when we updated to the 2005 beta, but
everything got massaged back into working.  However, since installing the
release VS2005 (and the latest VSS), this same tool now gets ...
