How to Remove Visual Source Safe 6.0d from your .net projects.

Comments (12) | Share

After doing this a few times I thought I'd write down the process:

Goto the folder containing the solution files and delete the following:

mssccprj.scc
MyProject.vssscc
vssser.scc

Open the MyProject.sln in your text editor and remove the following section:

GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution
...
EndGlobalSection

Goto the folder(s) containing the project files and delete the following:

MyProject.vbproj.vspscc
mssccprj.scc
vssver.scc

Open the *.proj file(s) and remove the following:

SccProjectName = "SAK"
SccLocalPath = "SAK"
SccAuxPath = "SAK"
SccProvider = "SAK"

-B

Very useful! How does it differ from the compiled version that you download from
gotdotnet?

Hey
Is there a way to remove source safe from VB6?
Can I use the same method?

Thanks

And for setup projects...

# Open the setup project *.vdproj files(s) and remove the following

* "SccProjectName" = "8:SAK"
* "SccLocalPath" = "8:SAK"
* "SccAuxPath" = "8:SAK"
* "SccProvider" = "8:SAK"

OK, so now how do I get the VS2008 project setup for version control with my project that has been migrated to subversion?
