Visual Basic >> Help! Visual SourceSafe 6.0 setup and running problem I was having problems connecting to a remote VSS server (DOS path
error invalid), so I tried a netsetup from the remote server. Ever
since then, I can run VSS on my local machine. I click on the
SSEXP.exe on the local machine and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Tough to say. Usually you get an error.

But the problem lies within the "srcsafe.ini" on either the client or
server.
Open them up and take a peek. If you follow the logic you will see something
goofy (a highly technical term. <g>)
Pay particular attention the the #INCLUDE statement.

Visual Basic >> Help! Visual SourceSafe 6.0 setup and running problem The VSS 6.0 setup program is launched by a 16-bit application that doesn't
understand UNCs or long names. You need to copy the installation files to a
DOS 8.3 compatible directory on your local machine. You may swear under your
breath at the MS programming team responsible as a means of alleviating your
annoyance.
