FIX: Source Control Info Not Preserved During Project Conversion

 Last reviewed: December 19, 1997
Article ID: Q171848
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, versions 5.0

SYMPTOMS

After converting a Visual C++ 4.x project that was under source control, the source control information is absent in Visual C++ 5.0.

CAUSE

During project conversion, Visual C++ 5.0 uses the mssccprj.scc file to gather information about source control instead of using the Visual C++ 4.x project .MDP file. The mssccprj.scc file is created by Microsoft Visual SourceSafe.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. This bug has been fixed in Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2.

For more information on the Visual Studio 97 Service Pack 2, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
