SourceSafe client hangs when logging in

[GeeeTeee]

Hi. I am using SOS Client 4.1 and SOS Server 4.1 with Microsoft Visual Studio 6. and Visual Sourcesafe 6.0d is installed on the server.

If I am using Visual Studio, and try to use the SOS client at the same time, the SOS client just hangs. If I then close Visual Studio, a message box appears: "Opening File C:\Documents And Settings\GeeeTeee\Application Data\SourceGear\SOS\servers\IO\database1.sos in read-only mode. Status information will not be persisted during this session".

I have switched on verbose logging, and here's what it shows:
03/08/2005 13:48:06 - Waiting for a connection....secure = True
03/08/2005 13:48:06 - Waiting for a connection....secure = False

03/08/2005 13:48:28 - 1: Exit Login()

The log shows that the login was successful within 1 second, yet the SOS client stays hung - even overnight!

Any idea what the problem might be?

Thanks.

If you're using SOS integrated with VB 6 and the SOS Client, you actually have two connections to the SOS Server. You might be running into a concurrency crash due to a bug in the 6.0d automation component.

See if this KB article solves the problem:

Hi.

That seems to have fixed it - I can now log in using Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio 6, and SourceOffSite client together, and log in in any order.

I did need to reboot my client PC for it to work though, but that's no big deal!

Thanks for your help.
