64Bit library for MSSCCI-API

The Vault 11 preview will be available next week. I will provide you with an update and a link to the downloads at that time.

As information for anyone interested in using Microsoft Access 64bit with Sourcegear Vault:

We just released Ivercy version 1.3.116 for production use, which explicitly supports the new Vault 64bit MSSCCI provider.

For those interested in using Vault 11 and Ivercy with 64-bit MS Access Ivercy 1.3.116 does not appear to work. I have however been able to get the Vault 11 preview and 64-bit Access 2019 to work together with the Ivercy 1.4.28 beta. Creating MDBs from the repository is a lot slower than VSS but so far even with the help of Sourcegear and Ivercy I am not sure why that is.

Ivercy 1.3.117 has been released and is supposed to work with 64-bit access and should allow you to select either the v2.0.50727 or v4.0.30319 runtime but for some reason throws a “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error when you try to select v4.0. I was however able to get Ivercy 1.3.117 to work by adding a file called “MSACCESS.EXE.CONFIG” to the Office16 folder where MSACCESS.EXE is located with the following text:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.8" />
</startup>
</configuration>

This causes Ivercy to correctly select v4.0.30319 without any intervention and as a result I can create a .mdb from Sourcegear Vault just like with 1.4.28. This proves that 1.3.117 can support 64 bits but something is amiss in the way it is deciding which version to use, at least with my installation.
