The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 5.0
  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q169535

SUMMARY

Unlike Visual SourceSafe 4.x, you cannot set the EOL option cannot within the Visual SourceSafe 5.0 or later Advanced dialog box. In Visual SourceSafe 5.0 or later, you have to manually set the EOL option in the Srcsafe.ini file. This is by design.
