The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows, version 6.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When updating a Visual SourceSafe Netsetup server installation with Visual
Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3, several key files used by Visual SourceSafe are not
updated.
You are affected if you have done any of the following:
- Installed new Visual SourceSafe clients from the Visual SourceSafe Server
Netsetup share.
- Updated Visual SourceSafe clients with Service Pack 3 files from the Visual
SourceSafe Server Netsetup share.
CAUSE
=====
The service pack setup does not update the following system files in the Visual
SourceSafe Netsetup directories:
- Hh.exe
- Mfc42.dll
- Msvcrt.dll
- Hhctrl.ocx
- Itss.dll
- Itircl.dll
In addition, the .inf file used in a Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Netsetup installation
was not correctly updated in Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 to reflect the
files updated in Service Pack 3. This issue prevents the Netsetup installation
program from detecting if a client system has already been upgraded. The result
is that some updated files are not installed and some installed files are given
incorrect creation dates. This leaves the client system in an indeterminate
state with incorrect dates and version numbers on some files.
NOTE: This problem does not corrupt data or stop the client machine. The machine
and its Visual SourceSafe install will function normally. This issue places the
client machine into a non-prescribed state that may break future installs or
hinder swift resolution of Product Support Services calls.
RESOLUTION
==========
To ensure that your Visual SourceSafe server has a correctly updated and
configured Netsetup for remote Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Service Pack 3 client
installations, the Visual SourceSafe Administrator needs to perform the
following steps on the Visual SourceSafe server:
1. Copy the following files from the source location on the Visual Studio 6.0
Service Pack 3 CD to the destination location on the Visual SourceSafe
Netsetup server. Because the Service Pack Web downloads have these files
embedded in various CAB files, it is strongly recommend that you use the
CD-ROM as your source for these files.

In the case of the Hhctrl.ocx files, simply copy all of the folders in
..\os\system\resource directory to the target
..\Netsetup.x86\os\system\resource directory to update the files.
2. Download the appropriate Vss98net.inf for your language from the Microsoft
Software Library (see MORE INFORMATION in this article) and copy it to the
..\Netsetup.x86\setup directory. This updates your Netsetup installation
program with the correct file list containing the correct create dates and
version numbers.
When completed, your Visual SourceSafe 6.0 client installation share
(Netsetup) will be configured to install a valid Visual SourceSafe 6.0
Service Pack 3 client.
