My understanding of Visual SourceSafe is that it is a code repository
tool, used to check-in and check-out code. It provides various levels
of access (read-only, read-write) to limit who can modify the code.
Recently a co-worker had tried to convince me that you can develop

I would like to know if the only/easiest way to copy a sourcesafe
project including its history is to Share and Branch?
I am talking about a copy within the same database.
What bothers me with the fact that I can do it using a Share/Branch is

I tried to look in the past posts but I couldn't find out anything
helpful ...
I'm running three different branches of the same project. Let's call
it 5.00 (the main) 4.01 and 4.10 (which are the patches).

Will VSS install on a 64bit XP client?
Thanks

I'm trying to determine the restrictions (if any) on the use of VSS 6.0
across multiple departments at a university.
I've been assigned the task of determining the licensing agreement and my
predecessor does not have any documentation.  

We have Visual Sourcesafe 2005 on a server (SERVERAPP) working ok trough LAN
sourcesafe plugin for VISUAL STUDIO 2005 (AND 2008 in a few days I hope...)
Making some tests I was finally able to configure it for HTTP access (non

Is there a convenient way to find differences between source files in the
database and a project, *and then* merge the differences into the database. I

administrator permissions.
My visual studio 2005 works fine at connecting and retrieving my projects
across the internet.

I am at my wit's end on this issue. We basically are trying to
identify which are the file versions in our VSS that are deployed to
our Live environment. We wrote a tool that compares each version of
the file in VSS with the source code deployed in Live and managed to

I need to access an old repository (to review and update some files); we used
Visual SourceSafe 6.0d, and have MSDN licenses - but I can only find patches
for 6.0D, not the product install.
Help?

I don't know that this is too hard, but I can't seem to get it to
work.  I'm trying to automate some of my installation build steps and
I'm simply trying to check out some files at this point.  I know I
have to use ss checkout, but it's just not working for me.

We're running SourceSafe on an internal server at my company but have
been asked to look into running the server component on a webserver
outside of our corporate network. We would use either Visual Studio or
the SourceSafe client application to check files in/out.
