SUMMARY
=======
This article demonstrates how to install SourceSafe on a client workstation when
the data is on a network drive.
MORE INFORMATION
================
With SourceSafe for Windows installed on a network server, do the following on
the Windows workstation:
1. Create a directory structure on the local machine that looks like this:
SS
SS\USER
SS\TEMP
2. Copy the *.EXE, *.DLL, and *.HLP files from the server's SS directory to the
local SS directory.
3. Map the server where SourceSafe is installed to a named drive letter, such as
Z:, making sure that the Reconnect at logon box is checked. This can be done
using File Manager.
4. In the user's AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add this line:
SET SSDIR=Z:\<Path to the \SS dir>
5. Edit the USERS.TXT file to change this line:
USER_NAME=\USERS\USER_NAME\SS.INI
to this line:
USER_NAME=<local drive>\SS\USER\SS.INI
6. Copy the SS.INI file from the \SS\USERS\USER_NAME\ to the local \SS\USER
directory.
7. Edit the SS\USER\SS.INI file and add the following line:
TEMP_PATH=<local drive>:\SS\TEMP
