Visual Studio 2008 "Orcas" and Visual SourceSafe (VSS)
[Workaround below]
I just installed Beta 2 for VS 2k8 and everything went well. Then I installed VSS and tried to open a project from VSS and it wouldn’t work… If I open a solution or a project, it just takes me back to “My Computer”. I tried both VSS over the Internet and over VPN.
When I click to open the solution, I get:
Opening a web site works fine… I tried both a solution and a project file… same thing. Anyone have an idea on what’s wrong?
[update]
I found a workaround… Get latest version (recursively) through the VSS client then open the project in visual studio and it will work just fine. You will have to be connected over VPN/network i.e. not over the Internet for this to work because the VSS client doesn’t support Internet access.
