The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Macintosh, versions 4.0a, 5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When changing projects using ss cp, the following dialog is displayed:
Directory '"<drive:path_to_working_dir>"' not found, create?
Note that there are double quotation marks (" ") around the path.
If the Create button is selected when these quotation marks exist, the following
may happen:
Error: The application "unknown" has unexpectedly quit, because an error of
type 3 occurred.
Error: Floating Point Coprocessor Not Installed.
When these errors occur, the system locks up and has to be rebooted.
CAUSE
=====
Quotation marks are included around the path in DIR section of ss.ini or
srcsafe.ini. For example:
[$/Project1]
Dir (Mac) = "Macintosh HD:ssWork:"
RESOLUTION
==========
If Temp_Path is set to a network drive make sure that the network connection is
stable.
Remove the quotation marks in the DIR variable in the .ini file as follows:
[$/Project1]
Dir (Mac) = Macintosh HD:ssWork:
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
================
It is common to put quotation marks around a path address in a Macintosh
product. However, in the .ini file in Visual SourceSafe for the Macintosh, this
is not necessary.
The following setting will be required for Visual SourceSafe to use the working
directory specified in the .ini file:
Force_Dir=Yes
