error: Couldn't find repository path for C:\WINDOWS\system32

[bhermer]

When adding a new (existing, but checked out of sourcesafe and unbound) project to vault, I am getting this error:

Couldn't find repository path for C:\WINDOWS\system32 because there is no applicable working folder.

Also, can someone advise me of the proper procedure for raising issues with this software, we have just swapped from sourcesafe to ten licenses of Vault, and we are all having a few problems, of which the help/support seems to be rather threadbare, eg. if you get an error in the software and you click 'Click here to search for more information' the search doesnt even work!

What does the layout of your solution look like? It is all contained under one parent folder, or are there pieces in different areas on your computer? Where is it located at?

Do you have links to items in C:\Windows\system32?

Are you using the Vault Classic Client or the Vault Enhanced Client in VS? To find out, go to Tools - Options - Source Control - plugins and see what you have chosen there.

There are three methods for getting help:
1) Searching and/or posting to the forum
2) Email support at sourcegear.com
3) Call support. Support info is posted here: http://www.sourcegear.com/company/.

Hi Beth,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am using the enhanced client.

I have a setup and deployment project as part of my solution, and this does pull some dll's from the windows sys32 folder:

C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\FSTools.dll

My solution is at the same level as the project.

Thanks

Ben

What you might want to try is copy the DLL to the project that is referring to it. That file is outside the scope of the project or solution folder.

Hi,
That is not an ideal solution for me as that dll is part of a larger application, so when the setup is rebuilt I need it to capture the latest one. How do I just tell sourcevault to ignore this file?

Thanks

Is the file checked into Vault or is it sitting in your pending changes window as an add? If it's in your pending changes, then you can just remove the entry from there and not check it in.

Neither, this is when I right click the solution and click 'Add To Vault' it asks for a ocation, then brings up a dialog stating:

An Error has occured. The error message is:
Couldn't find repository path for C:\WINDOWS\system32 because there is no applicable working folder.

Is it possible to remove the link for adding the project to Vault, and then after the entire solution is checked in link back to the file again?
