Answer 1

Hi Stanley.Fu,

I am moving this thread from Base "Visual Studio Setup and Installation" forum to the "Visual Studio Source Control and SourceSafe" forum, since the issue is related to VSS. There are more VSS experts in the "Visual Studio Source Control and SourceSafe" forum.

Thanks

Hi,

If Catherine's suggestion does not work, then where you got VSS from? If it is on a disc, I suggest copy the content to HD then continue installation, if it is downloaded from somewhere please try to redownload it.

Please let me know if it works.

Best Regards,
Nancy
