INFO: Visual SourceSafe Setup Registration Settings

MORE INFORMATION

This is what the Client setup script does to register the SourceSafe Visual Basic Add-In and SCC DLL.

Registration Database Keys

These entries are created during 32-bit and 16-bit installations. In the description below, {%INSTALLDIRECTORY%} is replaced with the path to the DLL. For example, if you are installing into C:\SS4, then {%INSTALLDIRECTORY%} is replaced with C:\SS4\WIN32 on 32-bit systems and C:\SS4\WIN on 16-bit systems.

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SccAddIn.SourceCodeControlAddIn = Source Code Control
      Add-In
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SccAddIn.SourceCodeControlAddIn\Clsid = {2F998FDA-
      3487-11CE-BCB6-00AA00688899}

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SccAddIn.SourceCodeControlAddIn.1 = Source Code
      Control Add-In
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SccAddIn.SourceCodeControlAddIn.1\Clsid = {2F998FDA-
      3487-11CE-BCB6-00AA00688899}

   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F998FDA-3487-11CE-BCB6-00AA00688899} = Source
      Code Control Add-In
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F998FDA-3487-11CE-BCB6-00AA00688899}\ProgID =
      SccAddIn.SourceCodeControlAddIn.1
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F998FDA-3487-11CE-BCB6-00AA00688899}\ 
      VersionIndependentProgID = SccAddIn.SourceCodeControlAddIn
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F998FDA-3487-11CE-BCB6-00AA00688899}\ 
      InProcServer32 = {%INSTALLDIRECTORY%}Ssvb.dll
   HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{2F998FDA-3487-11CE-BCB6-00AA00688899}\ 
      InProcServer = {%INSTALLDIRECTORY%}Ssvb16.dll
				

The following registry entries are created on 32-bit installations only:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\SourceCodeControlProvider = Value:
      ProviderRegKey = Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe = Value: SCCServerPath
      = {%INSTALLDIRECTORY%}ssscc.dll
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SourceSafe = Value: SCCServerName
      = Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
				

WIN.INI File Modifications

These changes are made during on 16-bit installation only. {%INSTALLDIRECTORY%} is replaced with the path to the DLL:

   [Source Code Control]
   SourceCodeControlProvider = SourceSafeSCCServer
   [SourceSafeSCCServer]
   SCCServerPath = {%INSTALLDIRECTORY%}ssscc16.dll
   SCCServerName = Microsoft Visual SourceSafe
				

VB.INI Entries

These entries are made during 16-bit and 32-bit installs. SourceSafe Setup determines the location of VB.INI by:

1. Looking in the registry to figure out where the registered version of Visual Basic is.
2. Asking the user.

      [Add-Ins32]
      SccAddIn.SourceCodeControlAddIn=1
   
      [Add-Ins16]
      SccAddIn.SourceCodeControlAddIn=1
