FIX: Analyze.exe Utility Fails to Repair or Remove Orphaned Files in a Visual SourceSafe Database (279191)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q279191 SYMPTOMS
The Analyze.exe utility that is included in Visual SourceSafe (VSS) does not remove orphaned files from the database. When you run Analyze.exe, one of the following error messages may appear:
The project Web-templates contains a child that does not recognize this project as a parent. The child will be added to the project.
Project log 'physical file' has a create record for item [file name], but that item wasn't found in the project.
The project name references a child whose physical file [file name] is missing or corrupted.
CAUSE
The abnormal ending of the VSS process can cause orphaned files. This abnormality can stem from many different situations, including power loss during file transfer, network traffic, drive runs out of space, and so forth.
