Windows 7 64 bit and VB6

[yasser.yaman]

Hi,

I am having issues intergrating VB6 and Source Vault on a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. The IDE works fine on Windows XP and WIndows Vista 32-bit OS.

In Windows 7 64-bit, I cannot see the Source Code control in VB6 even after I checked the checkbox to set SourceVault as my default source code control. The vbadd.ini file also has the entry: vbscc=3

Can you please help? This will be a crucial issue for us as the company is going to upgrade to Windows 7 64-bit soon.

Thanks.

Here's here's a list for what can help VB6 on Windows 7 with integration.

1) Run VB6 as administrator. When running it, right-click the icon and select Run As Administrator.
2) Make sure the vbaddin.ini has the vbscc=3 entry in it. That file is found in C:\Windows or %windir%.
3) Re-register the VBSCC.DLL by running

Code: Select all

regsvr32.exe "C"\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\VB98\VBSCC.DLL"

4) In the registry, check under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\SourceCodeControlProvider for a string called ProviderRegKey. If it's not there, create it and give it the data SOFTWARE\SourceGear\Vault Client.
5) Also look under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\SourceCodeControlProvider\InstalledSCCProviders. If you have a an entry called Vault VS 2003 Classic Client change that to read as SourceGear Vault Classic Client and give it the data of SOFTWARE\SourceGear\Vault Client.

In the same boat here.

Attempted the above to implement Fortress 1.1.4 as SCC in VB6 on a Win7x64 workstation.

Noted two things. First in Fortress Client Options/General the checkbox to make Fortress the default SCC Provider does not stay checked.

Second, when I start VB6 as ADMIN I get the following error message: "You don't have a source code control program (such as Microsoft Visual SourceSafe) installed on your machine....."

What is plan b?

Although it may run on Windows 7 64-bit, Fortress 1.1.4 is not officially supported on that platform.

Also, integration with VB 6 takes a bit of a workaround.

You may also need to run VB 6 as Administrator, so that the default SCC provider checkbox stays checked.
