Operation Failed on Checkout-VSS 2005

[dgoard]

All my users are on SOS 3.53, server is same version also.
2003 Server OS/ VSS 2005

They are logging in via VPN and cannot do check out or get latest
Log Shows Server error 400 and client gives operation failed

We are not using VS IDE integration, this is just in the SOS GUI

Thanks

SOS does not yet support the Visual SourceSafe 2005 automation component. We did some testing in-house and found that the Get Latest operation does not work if VSS 2005 is the version of the client installed on the SOS Server machine.

You may be able to work around this by using the ssapi.dll (automation component) from VSS 6.0c. I've attached a copy.

First search the registry for this key: "783CD4E4-9D54-11CF-B8EE-00608CC9A71F", which is the Class ID for the VSS Automation component. This will show the path to the ssapi.dll file used by the SOS Server. Then go to this location of this ssapi.dll file on the SOS Server machine. Rename this ssapi.dll file and replace it with the ssapi.dll file from this post.

We haven't tested this extensively, but we were able to do get, checkout, checkin, etc. from a VSS 2005 database.

We do plan to support VSS 2005 after final release.

I dont see the attachment,
You sure it got attached?

Thanks for the response

Sorry about that. It's there now.

I got the file off of my old VSS cd
Worked like a champ!!

Thanks for the info

[dgoard]

Actually now, my internal users can't hit Source Safe because of the workaround.

Is there anyway to get it where both parties can work properly?

Is this affecting VSS clients on other machines, or just the VSS client on the SOS Server machine? It looks like VSS 2005 can't use the older ssapi.dll file.
