How To Install SourceSafe on a Windows Client Workstation

MORE INFORMATION

1. Create a directory structure on the local machine that looks like this:

   SS
   SS\USER
   SS\TEMP

2. Copy the *.EXE, *.DLL, and *.HLP files from the server's SS directory to the local SS directory.
3. Map the server where SourceSafe is installed to a named drive letter, such as Z:, making sure that the Reconnect at logon box is checked. This can be done using File Manager.
4. In the user's AUTOEXEC.BAT file, add this line:

   SET SSDIR=Z:\<Path to the \SS dir>

5. Edit the USERS.TXT file to change this line:

   USER_NAME=\USERS\USER_NAME\SS.INI

   to this line:

   USER_NAME=<local drive>\SS\USER\SS.INI

6. Copy the SS.INI file from the \SS\USERS\USER_NAME\ to the local \SS\USER directory.
7. Edit the SS\USER\SS.INI file and add the following line:

   TEMP_PATH=<local drive>:\SS\TEMP
