VSS 2005 and VS 2005

Question

I use VS 2005 and VSS 2005. Every time I close VS I get error: ss.ini not found. But except this VSS works fine, no problems when I open VS and do check in and check out. ss.ini is present and VSS repository specified as network path. I just worry that I can have problems later.

Ss.ini keeps track of your preferences, project locations, dialog settings, and such. The ss.ini needs to be in the user's folder for the data base. In my case, it is C:\DEV_\VSS\SourceSafe\users\amissico\ss.ini.

If the file exists, check permissions of folder and file. If the file doesn't exist, check permissions of folder.

File is there and I think that permissions are okay, because I could login to VSS without problem and open any project, problem only when I close VS. – Alexan Mar 05 '10 at 01:44
You are getting the error because the VSS provider is trying to save your settings. Try removing the file. – AMissico Mar 05 '10 at 01:55
okay, thanks, will try tomorrow, maybe it can't overwrite file. – Alexan Mar 05 '10 at 02:00

Copy paste SS.ini file from user folder from another user folder into user folder with whom you are getting an issue like : Source: Project\users\ajit\SS.ini Destination: Project\users\Sujit\SS.ini

VSS provides Deploy command which allows you publish files to your web server. You can check the following link for more info: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb509340(v=vs.80).aspx
