Installing Team Explorer removes binding for VSS6.0 for VS2003?

Hi all,

After installing Team Explorer, my colleague encountered a problem where his VS2003 could not bind to the previous Visual Source Safe6.0. He lost his binding to the previous .NET project which is in 1.1 framework.

He tried getting the latest VSS for those projects yet the same error occurred.

Could someone verify that VSS6.0 can actually work well with Team Explorer? Or is it the framework problem? He is still trying to repair his VS2003 as the problem could not be solved.

Thanks. Hope someone replies with help ASAP.

The problem is that VS2003 doesn't provide a way to switch between different SCC providers -- VSS and TFS in this case -- without hacking the registry. There are 3rd party programs which make this easy. Try SccSwitch: http://devhawk.net/art_sccswitch.aspx
