Hello,

I installed sourcesafe server 4.1 on Windows Server 2003 SP1.
When I try to start the Service, I get a dialog that says:

The sourceoffsite 4 server started an then stopped on local computer....etc

When I look in the windows event viewer I see the following exception:

Service cannot be started. System.Exception: Error starting the 'SOS 4' server. Please check the server log for more details.
at ClassicService.ClassicService.OnStart(String[] args)
at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)

Can you please help me ?

Best regards,
Peter Gnorre

It's probably the error described in this KB article:

If that doesn't resolve the problem, see this for additional suggestions:

Let us know if you're still unable to start the service.
