You can use VSS 2005, or if you have VSS 6.0, you can download the VSS 6.0c Hotfix from this link:

Yes. Just replace the contents of the VSS\Win32 directory with the contents or the archive.

Does the Vault server log have any corresponding messages? It's sgvault.log in %windir%\temp\sgvault.

Make sure there is a temp directory in the directory where the SourceSafe database resides. If not, create a Temp directory in the directory that contains the srcsafe.ini file. (The Temp directory and srcsafe.ini file should be siblings.) The cause of this error:

**Failed** to Get version X of Y to upload

is generally because there is no SourceSafe temp directory.

The following error is benign -- it means the Import Tool is trying to create a username that already exists in Vault.

.

It's not clear whether or not the error below is causing a problem with the Import. It could, if it is restarting the server in the midst of a transaction. If you continue to see this in the log, I'd suggest upgrading to Vault 3.5.2 (Client and Server), as this deadlock issue has been fixed.

It looks like the folder structure was already there -- possibly from the previous import attempt?

Try starting over with a fresh repository, or delete/obliterate anything that was created by previous import attempts.

The import will try to recreate the folder and file structure. If it is failing at creating the folder structure (because the folder already exists), then it may not get the the file upload part.

There is generally a fee for us to import a VSS database for a customer. But we can take a look at your database to see what the problem might be.

Email support at sourcegear.com, attn: Linda, and we'll provide information on how to send the database to us.
