The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows NT, version 4.0
- Microsoft SourceSafe for Windows, versions 95, 4.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
If the 16-bit version of Visual Basic is initially started or the Source Code
Control Add-In check box is selected in the Visual Basic Add-In Manager when a
standalone version of Visual SourceSafe has been installed under a 32-bit
operating system, the following message and prompt results:
'Source Code Control Add-In' could not be loaded. Remove it from the list of
available Add-Ins?
CAUSE
=====
There are two possible causes:
- During installation of Visual SourceSafe, the Vb.ini file was not updated to
reflect the 16-bit Source Control Code Add-In entry. (This may occur even in
the Visual Basic Enterprise edition after the installation of the Visual
Basic 16-bit version and a subsequent Visual SourceSafe Client installation.)
-or-
- In the standalone version, Visual SourceSafe usually installs only the 32-bit
version on a 32-bit operating system, so the missing 16-bit version is the
source of the problem.
RESOLUTION
==========
If the 16-bit version of the Visual SourceSafe client has not been loaded, you
need to uninstall the SourceSafe 32-bit client and then reinstall it using the
Custom option so that you can tell it to load the 16-bit as well as the MS-DOS
versions.
If the 16-bit version of Visual SourceSafe is already installed, run
Win\Ssint.exe to update the <WINDOWS folder> or the Vb.ini file.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Visual SourceSafe 4.0, which ships with Visual Basic 3.0 Enterprise Edition has
a different Client setup (netsetup) from the standalone version. Instead of two
buttons (one for 32-bit and one for custom), there is only one button (for all)
that installs both the 16-bit and 32-bit versions of Visual SourceSafe on 16-
and 32-bit operating systems.
In the standalone version of Visual SourceSafe, there are two buttons. The
non-custom button loads the 32-bit version only on a 32-bit operating system.
