Overview
The following directions are for system admins only. The installation is from the X drive. You will need to purchase a license for every user for whom you perform a SourceSafe installation. Talk to department system admin Tom Knight (ext 2955) about purchasing these licenses. Please ask Frederick Lo or Tom Knight to perform this installation.
Installation
- Launch X:\Applications\Supported\VisualSourceSafe\6.0c\setup.exe. You will need the CD Key found at X:\Applications\Supported\VisualSourceSafe\Readme.txt. Be sure to install the STAND-ALONE option. Install at the default location. Reboot as requested.
- From the Start Menu, go to Start->Program Files->Microsoft Visual SourceSafe->Visual SourceSafe 6.0 Admin. In the application, go to User->Add User... Add the NT username of your user, without a password, and do not select “Read Only.” Exit the Admin.
