Author Topic: SCC provider not found?! (Read 4657 times)

Germanicus · « **on:** June 21, 2005, 05:35:14 am »

I try to implement EA in our organization and just documented version control inside EA with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe. Everything worked fine on my machine but when I asked others to test my documentation they failed at the step in the Version Control Configuration where they have to choose the SCC provider. Visual SourceSafe is installed and working on those machines but it doesn't show in the list where the SCC provider has to be selected!

Can anyone help me?

If your SourceSafe library is on a shared disk drive make sure everyone in the group maps the same share to the same drive designator.

Thank you!

I found a solution myself. The problem was incomplete installations of Visual SourceSafe. On some workstations VSS didn't register completely into the Windows registry.

Code: [Select]


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SourceSafe]
"SCCServerName"="Microsoft Visual SourceSafe"
"SCCServerPath"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\VSS\\win32\\SSSCC.DLL"
"API Current Database"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\VSS"
"PromptForConnect"=dword:00000001
"Current Database"="\\\\<your path>"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider]
"ProviderRegKey"="Software\\Microsoft\\SourceSafe"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders]
"Microsoft Visual SourceSafe"="Software\\Microsoft\\SourceSafe"

Another problem was the missing DLL-file C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ssscc.dll

I just copied it from a working installation :)

Peter tnx for your detailed solution to the MS VSS detection problem in EA. The Registry entries were the culprit in my case too.

Your solution worked like a charm for me - problem resolved!

Nice to be able to help somebody. Our company finally migrated to subversion instead of VSS. A GREAT improvement!
