HOWTO: Use SSInt.exe in Visual SourceSafe

ID: Q150642

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 16-bit and 32-bit, for Windows, version 4.0
  • Microsoft Visual Basic for Windows, 16-bit and 32-bit, version 4.0 Standard, Professional, and Enterprise Editions

SUMMARY

To integrate SourceSafe with the 16-bit edition of Microsoft Visual Basic version 4.0, you need to install a 16-bit version of SourceSafe and then run the SSINT.EXE file.


MORE INFORMATION

If the user has installed Visual SourceSafe and source code management is not available on the menu of the 16-bit edition of Visual Basic 4.0, the VB.INI file needs to be updated to integrate with Visual SourceSafe.

Step-by-Step Example

  1. Go to the directory where Visual SourceSafe is installed on the server.


  2. Select the WIN directory, and double-click the SSINT.EXE file.


  3. Ensure that Update VB.INI is checked, and click OK.


  4. Visual SourceSafe is now integrated with the 16-bit Edition of Visual Basic 4.0.


With Visual SourceSafe 4.0, a Custom installation is required to install the 16-bit version on a 32-bit operating system. With Visual SourceSafe 4.0a, there is Netsetup.exe and a Netset16.exe. The Netset16.exe should be used if the 16-bit Visual SourceSafe client is to be installed on a 32-bit operating system. The Netsetup.exe assumes that you want to install the same bit client as operating system (for example, 16-bit client on 16-bit operating system or 32-bit client on 32-bit operating system.)

For instructions regarding Visual SourceSafe 5.0, see the readme.wri file in the Ss_16bit folder in the Visual SourceSafe 5.0 CD-ROM.
