Vault not showing up as a "Installed SCC system"

Post by enicolson » Thu Apr 21, 2016 7:06 pm

We have an older application that supports SCC integration and works with SourceOffSite 4.2.x (yes this is an ancient version).
I am attempting to use this application with the latest version of Vault. The application allows me to select a "Source Code Control (SCC) system". The drop down list of choices for "Installed SCC system(s):" shows "SourceGear SourceOffSite", but it does not give a choice for Vault. I have installed and tested the Vault 9 client.

Does Vault provide an old style SCC interface?
Does the Vault client register itself as a SCC system?
Do I need to uninstall SourceOffSite?

Whether Vault will work or not with the program that worked with SourceOffSite depends on how SOS was accessed. If your other program uses Microsoft's MSSCCI interface, then there is a good chance that Vault will work with it. If the programmers of the other system wrote some other type of integration, then it won't.

You don't need to uninstall SourceOffSite.

A list of things you can try can be found in this KB article: http://support.sourcegear.com/viewtopic ... 13&t=15034. In particular look at your registry keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\SourceCodeControlProvider.

You might also try running Vault GUI with Admin privileges and setting 'Make Vault your default SCC Provider' in the Vault Tools - Options - General.

Turns out I had to rename a registry key name, but not the value.

I changed reg key name:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders\SourceGear Vault Classic Client
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders\SourceGear Vault

and then I get an option to select "SourceGear Vault" as a SCC system.

It seems that the IDE that I am using can not handle the longer name
"SourceGear Vault Classic Client"

I will continue testing to see if anything else comes up. If we proceed with this solution I will need to instruct users to modify the registry key name.

Thank you for the update. Would you be willing to list your system so that other users of the same system can find this thread?
