ID: Q124528

The information in this article applies to:

SourceSafe for MS-DOS, version 3.0X
SourceSafe for Windows, version 3.0X
SourceSafe for Macintosh, version 3.0X
SourceSafe for Windows NT, version 3.0X
SourceSafe for UNIX, version 3.0X

SYMPTOMS

You receive the error "INI in 2.2 format."

CAUSE

This error can occur after updating to 3.0X from a 2.X version. The install script should execute UPDINI.EXE automatically to modify the 2.X INI files. However, you may need to execute this program manually to solve the following errors:

"File <path>SRCSAFE.INI not found"

"The <INI file> file still has the 2.2 format. Please run UPDINI.EXE on this file"

RESOLUTION

To resolve these errors, execute UPDINI.EXE. This program is located in ADMIN directory. Example:

C:\SS\ADMIN\UPDINI -m<path to SYSTEM.INI>

To modify an SS.INI file:

C:\SS\ADMIN\UPDINI -m<path to SS.INI>\SS.INI

This program should make the necessary modifications to the .INI files.
