Visual Source Safe 2005 and uVision 4

Hi all,

I'm trying to make uVision 4.03q to work with Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 2005 (can't find any older VSS6 CD at the moment...)

I've chosen the ''Microsoft Visual SourceSafe6.SVCS'' template file and edited command lines to reflect my installation.

Basically, the executables are:

C:\Programmi\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ssexp.exe

and

''C:\Programmi\Microsoft Visual SourceSafe\ss.exe''

Ths VSS database is on a server, and the drive is mapped as V: on my PC (XP Pro SP3), so the database field is set to

''V:\srcsafe.ini''

The Source safe explorer is launched and works fine.

All other commands required the SSDIR variable so I added to them all:

''SSDIR=V:\''

I tried many different commands (set current, create, checkin...), but none of them seems to have any effect on the database.

Even if I ask to checkout a file that is currently in uVision project but has never been checked-in in VSS, uVision-VSS doesn't show any error.

All commands simply seems to fail gracefully :-)

I checked the syntax of some commands against the help of VSS and they seems to be correct (off course not all possible commands are implemented, nor all possible options are used in commands...)

Anyone out there succeeded in this ?

Also, is there any procedure to follow when using uVision and VSS (in particular for creating new projects?)
Any doc I should read?

Best regards

Marco
