VSSConverter.exe missing from installation?

I have installed TFS successfully on a test server and VS2005 on a client.

I would now like to migrate VSS6.0 to TFS VC. I'm following the "Preparing to Migrate" walkthough and have found that, although VSSConverter.exe has been installed on the client machine, it has not been installed on the server, which is where the analysis and conversion must be run.

I have Team Explorer on the server, but do not wish to install the entirety of VS2005 here.

Am I missing an installation option that would put VSSConverter.exe on my TFS machine? If so, why isn't it installed by default, as TFS VC was?

Any help appreciated...

Ok - it's not missing, I just have to navigate to the "...common7/ide" directory to run it (which I don't have to do on the client machine). However, I have an error message when running it. Will search on this and come back if no luck.

What is the solution for this? We have purchased TFS and all the client licenses but I am unable to convert our existing VSS6 repository over to it via vssconverter, gettng TF60032. I would prefer that we NOT have to purchase VSS2005 just to do a migration. I tried installing the VS2005 Team Suite (180day trial) to obtain the SourceSafe2005 with no avail. Where is the Visual Studio 2005 setup/install at?

HELP!!!
