I’ve started working on an existing project at my company that was check into VSS 6.0 about a month ago. It was built using Visual Studio 2005 and C# and references all point to .NET 2.0. I went into VSS and set my working folder as per usual and got the latest version. I’ve opened this project at which point I’m prompted with this:
The solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found. It is possible that the MSSCCPRJ.SCC file or another item that holds the source control settings for the solution, has been deleted. Because it is not possible to recover this missing information automatically, the projects whose bindings are missing will be treated as not under source control.
I click “OK” and that prompt is directly followed by this one:
The associated source control plug-in is not installed or could not be initialized.
That presents me with these options:
- Temporarily work uncontrolled.
- Permanently remove source control association bindings
How can I rectify this situation? I’d like the project to remain in VSS under control. Any Ideas?
Go to File -> Source Control -> Change Source Control, then select each project that you have under VSS and “Bind” it to the correct directory in VSS, it will prompt you for vss user name and password
