INFO: Visual SourceSafe Installation is Processor Specific (139891)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q139891 SUMMARY
The Visual SourceSafe installation is Processor specific. If you install on
an Intel-based system, you get only the executables in the DOS, Win, and
Win32 directories for Intel-based operating systems such as Windows,
Windows 95, Windows NT, and MS-DOS. Installing on a MIPS- or Alpha-based
system, installs only MIPS- or ALPHA-based executables in the Ntmips or
Ntaxp directories.
Visual SourceSafe 6.0 does not ship with any MIPS or PowerPC executables.
The Alpha Visual SourceSafe executables are only shipped with the Visual
Basic Enterprise Edition.
MORE INFORMATION
To install for more than one processor, you can run a server setup on each
of the workstations running under each processor and direct each
installation to the server. Each setup will add directories to the server
install for that processor. Clients can then have access to the executables
for the architecture they are running.
