One of Network user moved in remote location and he was
required to dial in VPN to access Microsoft Visual SourceSafe database. Days after
his work from remote site he complains that he is getting this error “Microsoft
Visual SourceSafe File “location\project\userss\username\ss.ini”
not found”
I checked in VSS location and there were no ss.ini file and
this is the file that contains information about user’s working folder path
etc. Microsoft doesn’t give any solution on this issue but Google search give
us two solutions;
Solutions:
Note: - Please backup
before starting troubleshooting to your Production Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
or any Database.
- Go to your VSS location, where ss.ini is not found, hope there will be one or more .tmp files. greater in size .tmp file is your ss.ini file. What you just need to do is to rename it to ss.ini.
- If you have backup of your VSS, just extract it to somewhere and copy required user’s ss.ini file to error indicated location.
- If none of the above solution fit in your location, please don’t hesitate to use this option. Just go to any other user’s folder and try copying another user’s ss.ini file and manually changing all the setting to make it work for the other user.
