VSS and TFS coexisting

Question

Hi,

I've just installed the Team Foundatin Server Provider, and now TFS is visible from .NET 2003... but I can't connect to my VSS anymore... has this popped up before?

Answer 1

With MSSCCI you can only have one provider set for your machine.  Therefore, when you install the TFS MSSCCI provider it becomes that one provider.  You can switch back via a registry key.

Answer 2

Thanks Ed,

Dug into that and as you say, you can't switch. There a couple of neat utils out there for it, SCCSwitcher SCCSwicth and a VS6 Addlin. They don't dynamic switch, bit it makes switching a bit easier (no regedit!)

Thanks again
