scc providers for version control

[dml]

I'm trying to put a project under VSS control for team
development. When I try to follow the instructions  
in the manual, I fail on the step where I must select an SCC
provider. The window that is supposed to contain the list
of available providers is empty.

On a previous thread on this board, it was mentioned that
the list is based on a registry setting that should contain
information about all SCC-enabled products installed on the
machine. I have both VSS and Tortoise (SCC-enhanced CVS)
installed, but neither appear in the list.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a means to kick-start
version control and make EA aware of these applications?

It'd be nice if EA could provide a more transparent interface
that would allow you to manually add providers to EA's list
of known SCC providers.

forgot to mention that I'm running
- EA v3.6 and v4.0 (tried both, same behavior)
- windows XP pro (the registry setting mentioned above doesn't exist in my registry)

I have got this to work with jalindi igloo
http://www.jalindi.com/igloo/

maybe give it a try (haven't tried it on 4.0 yet).

sadly, neither igloo distribution works--the installer is 404 and the zip is corrupt.

but it looks like just the contents of the install.bat and switchToSourceSafe scripts might contain what I need to register SCC providers--if I could only get them.

Just to add another idea.

I use QVCS from Qumasoft (http://www.qumasoft.com/index.html) and have never had a problem with it in EA.
