The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen changing projects using ss cp, the following dialog is displayed:
Directory '"<drive:path_to_working_dir>"' not found, create?Note that there are double quotation marks (" ") around the path. If the Create button is selected when these quotation marks exist, the following may happen:
Error: The application "unknown" has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type 3 occurred. Error: Floating Point Coprocessor Not Installed.When these errors occur, the system locks up and has to be rebooted.
CAUSEQuotation marks are included around the path in DIR section of ss.ini or srcsafe.ini. For example:
[$/Project1] Dir (Mac) = "Macintosh HD:ssWork:" RESOLUTIONIf Temp_Path is set to a network drive make sure that the network connection is stable. Remove the quotation marks in the DIR variable in the .ini file as follows:
[$/Project1] Dir (Mac) = Macintosh HD:ssWork: STATUSThis behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATIONIt is common to put quotation marks around a path address in a Macintosh product. However, in the .ini file in Visual SourceSafe for the Macintosh, this is not necessary. The following setting will be required for Visual SourceSafe to use the working directory specified in the .ini file:
Force_Dir=Yes |
