VSS Imports successfully but all files are empty

Post by Cartegraph » Tue Jan 24, 2006 11:50 am

I am running the 30-day evaluation of SourceGear on my local computer with a local version of our production VSS database. Using SourceGear's SourceSafe Import Tool, I successfully imported a project into SourceGear with no errors. The structure, labels and history all look good. But when I attempt to view a file, the file is empty. Same thing happens when I attempt to perform a Diff on two file versions.

Any ideas why the files imported as empty?

Thanks.

We'd have to take a look at the logs to see what errors were reported.

Please email linda at sourcegear.com with the Import.log file from the SourceSafe import tool directory and the Vault server log file that covers the time period of the import.

FYI - I was able to resolve the issue by downloading the ssapi.dll Microsoft hotfix and copying it to my Win32 directory.
