Operation failed - $/ when downloading project tree

[AnthonPr]

When downloading or refreshing the project tree I keep getting a message that "Operation failed - $/".

It is only happening with one particular database. I ran Analyze on that database and there is nothing showing as bad or corrupt. I recreated the cache files on a client machine, which did not resolve the issue. Not sure what else to try.

Am attaching the log.txt file for review. Please help.

I can't determine which user you were logged in as.

But this error was in the log:
File "D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\<Folder>\b\bxmgaaaa.a" not found

This could indicate database corruption in your VSS database or it might just be a configuration problem.

-- Please verify that the option in the SourceSafe Explorer called
"Remove local copy after Add or Check In." is not enabled in your VSS
installation on the SOS Server machine. If this option is enabled,
SourceOffSite cannot function properly. Make sure this is disabled for
each user profile (you can check this by logging in to the VSS client on the
SOS Server machine as different users.)

-- If there is database corruption, the error message "\\... \...\vss\data\a\aapaaaaa.a" not found" in the log file usually points to a problem with a VSS data file that the VSS Automation component is not able to deal with. The SourceOffSite Server uses the VSS Automation component to communicate with the VSS database. If there are any inconsistencies in your database, it may prevent SOS from working properly.

The information at the following link should help you resolve the problem: While this article refers to analyze, the automation component will return the same type of error.
