Visual SourceSafe (VSS) command line issue with corrupt file/folder

23 New Member
Hi all,

I am running a simple command line Get for a networked VSS database. The command executes properly until it reaches a directory that is corrupted. Because the database is not local, I don't have access to run the analyze utility to try and fix the issue. Plus, I've been told it's been run before and has not resolved anything.

To my question...how can I duplicate the functionality of the UI that skips corrupted files/folder, in my command line statement?

Here is, basically, the command I am using:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. \\[DEV SERVER]\C$\PROGRA~1\MICROS~1\VSS\Win32\SS.exe Get $/Asp.Net/[FOLDER]/[PROJECT] -R -Q -I- -GWS -GLc:\inetpub\wwwroot\[PROJECT]
  2.  
I've added the switches to try and ignore errors, but nothing seems to allow the get command to proceed past a corrupt file/folder.

Thanks for any help you can give!!

Because there doesn't seem to be an easy solution to this, I've updated to the code to allow the user to get the latest version of each file or a list of files rather than the whole project. It appears that VSS doesn't handle corrupted files very well.

Hello, I seem to be encountering a problem that many others have encountered before me. Unfortunately, even the mighty Google seems reluctant to yield any solutions. We are developing some webservices. We have multiple developers who have Visual Studio 2003 and SourceSafe 6.0d. None of our developers have IIS installed on their machines. We have a central test server that we want to work off which runs IIS and .NET 1.1. All of our...

I'm working on a build environment for .NET application where the developers are using visual studio and VSS. In order to pull only the changed modules (and any required dependencies) I want to get a labelled version from VSS. The developers use visual studio and the VSS integration so they don't currently label the code (or are really aware that they are checking in and out of VSS). Is there a mechanism in visual studio that will...

I'm using Visual Studio, with ASP.NET. Is VSS on a separate CD. Also, is it possible to use the VSS beta (2005) with .NET if I'm not using the .NET beta. And finally, where do I get the VSS beta... when I go to msdn, it just directs me to a page with Whidbey downloads.... nothing mentioned on VSS TY Jason Shohet

We have a web application in 2003. The solution contains the project for the web application and five other projects for shared assemblies. We have two issues. The first is that we want to place the entire solution in some other directory like c:\work rather than wwwroot. We can use vss to do a get latest version, but as soon as we open the solution from within visual studio, vs copies the main web application source files to a new...

What solution is best? Ive heard so many developers curse VSS that Im leery if using it. I read a LITTLE bit on MS Team Server. From what I read, in terms of testing and communication between developers, Team Server is better, but I see no mention of Source Control with the software. I wanted to get your guys opinions. -- JP ..NET Software Developer

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
