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

May 15, 2005 · 1 min read

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

  1. Goto the folder containing the solution files and delete the following:
  • mssccprj.scc
  • MyProject.vssscc
  • vssser.scc
  1. Open the MyProject.sln in your text editor and remove the following section:
  • GlobalSection(SourceCodeControl) = preSolution
  • ...
  • EndGlobalSection
  1. Goto the folder(s) containing the project files and delete the following:
  • MyProject.vbproj.vspscc
  • mssccprj.scc
  • vssver.scc
  1. Open the *.proj file(s) and remove the following:
  • SccProjectName = "SAK"
  • SccLocalPath = "SAK"
  • SccAuxPath = "SAK"
  • SccProvider = "SAK"

Now open up your solution and you should be Source Control free.
