VS 2008 users: remember to download the SourceSafe CTP

This information should have been added to the VS2008 README. I only happened to stumble upon it before installing VS2008.

You may also want to get Scott Guthrie to add it to his blog, in order to get more visibility.

Is VSS2005 the official product for VS2008, or is there a VSS2008 around the corner?

We're using vs2005 with sourcesafe 6d. We want to upgrade to vs2008, do we need to upgrade to vss2005 as well? Thanks.

Ok, but does sourcesafe 6d work with vs.net 2008?

This is so ridiculous...how do you get SourceSafe if you just upgraded from VS.NET 2003? It isn't on the Team Suite 2008 Trial DVD. And what SKUs get SourceSafe for VS 2008? What about Pro?

re: VS 2008 users: remember to download the SourceSafe CTP

Jason — Sun, 25 Nov 2007 23:19:34 GMT

Someone - If you upgraded from VS.Net 2003 then the 2003 disc should have sourcesafe 6 on it. VS.net 2005 did away with sourcesafe and went to team edition. You can however use sourcesafe 6D or ss2005 with vs.net 2005. If you want ss2005 then you need to purchase it.

Many people asked if you can use VSS 6d and VS08. Unless something changed from the beta to the live server then yes you can use vs08 with vss 6d.

re: VS 2008 users: download the VSS GDR CTP ASAP

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 23:53:52 GMT

Is it possible you guys are so inundated with acronyms that you don't realize that a GDR is already a CTP of a SP, so having a CTP of a GDR of VSS 2005 is really redundantly superfluous? ;-)

Seriously though ... do we really need a whole new TLA to describe an untested Service Pack?

I'm now running the CTP update on VSS2005. It didn't help.

VS2008 Pro is not automatically checking out files when editing (like VS2005 did perfectly), and even though we have the advanced option to not download original version selected for check-in, it is doing exactly that. we've lost a couple of developer days because of this. VS2008 isn't ready for release since it doesn't have reliable source control.

We're moving back to VS2005.

re: VS 2008 users: remember to download the SourceSafe CTP

Richard Berg — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 02:08:45 GMT

Bill, that sounds like a problem with VS2008 -- either the SCCI layer or one of the project systems. If you post on the MSDN "VS Source Control & SourceSafe" forum with more details someone can try to help you.

re: VS 2008 users: remember to download the SourceSafe CTP

Bill Kuhn — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 18:31:48 GMT

Yep - it is a problem with VS2008. Installing VS2008 broke sourcesafe integration with VS2005 as well. Now neither VS2005 or VS2008 will properly check-out or check-in the way VS2005 has done for years.

So even moving back to VS2005 doesn't help us since it can't work with VSS now either.

We've installed VS2005 Pro on 4 machines so far, and it is screwed on all of them.

Absolutely pi$$ed would be far too nice a term to use.

I'll try the VS Source Control & SourceSafe forum.

Thanks.

Hi,

I'm running VS 2008 and VSS 2005 on a Vista machine. I did a clean install of VS 2008 (no prior versions/betas), and VSS 2005). I then installed the CTP you mention above. Any suggestions?
