PRB: 16-Bit Visual Basic Requires 16-Bit SourceSafe (141548)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 16-bit, for Windows 4.0
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows 95
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows 4.0
This article was previously published under Q141548 SYMPTOMS
If the 16-bit version of Visual Basic is initially started or the Source
Code Control Add-In check box is selected in the Visual Basic Add-In
Manager when a standalone version of Visual SourceSafe has been installed
under a 32-bit operating system, the following message and prompt results:
'Source Code Control Add-In' could not be loaded. Remove it from
the list of available Add-Ins?
CAUSE
There are two possible causes:
- During installation of Visual SourceSafe, the Vb.ini file was not
updated to reflect the 16-bit Source Control Code Add-In entry. (This
may occur even in the Visual Basic Enterprise edition after the
installation of the Visual Basic 16-bit version and a subsequent Visual
SourceSafe Client installation.)
-or-
- In the standalone version, Visual SourceSafe usually installs only the
32-bit version on a 32-bit operating system, so the missing 16-bit
version is the source of the problem.
RESOLUTION
If the 16-bit version of the Visual SourceSafe client has not been loaded,
you need to uninstall the SourceSafe 32-bit client and then reinstall it
using the Custom option so that you can tell it to load the 16-bit as well
as the MS-DOS versions.
If the 16-bit version of Visual SourceSafe is already installed, run
Win\Ssint.exe to update the <WINDOWS folder> or the Vb.ini file.
MORE INFORMATION
Visual SourceSafe 4.0, which ships with Visual Basic 3.0 Enterprise Edition
has a different Client setup (netsetup) from the standalone version.
Instead of two buttons (one for 32-bit and one for custom), there is only
one button (for all) that installs both the 16-bit and 32-bit versions of
Visual SourceSafe on 16- and 32-bit operating systems.
In the standalone version of Visual SourceSafe, there are two buttons. The
non-custom button loads the 32-bit version only on a 32-bit operating
system.
