Flare with VSS

Post by raikeswood »

Does anyone know which versions of VSS Flare 4.1 gets along with? We've been trying to implement Flare's binding to VSS but the db keeps corrupting. Do you need the VSS client to be installed locally? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Flare works with VSS 2005 or TFS. A corrupted database is a feature of VSS. It always did that and is the main reason why many development teams chose to use something else.

Our team here has been using VSS 2005 for a while now, and we haven't had any real problems. We have the VSS client installed locally (Microsoft Visual SourceSafe Explorer).

We had problems early on with lots error messages popping up in Flare, but we found that wasn't a Flare problem and it was fixed by re-installing VSS.
