VSSConverter GUI VSSConverter GUI is an easy to use interface to the VSSConverter command line utility that comes with Team Foundation Version Control. For more details about the tool, you can read my blog entry here: http://www.epocalipse.com/blog/2006/04/06/vssconverter-gui Note: You must put the VSSConverterGUI.exe in the same folder where VssConverter.Exe is located. VssConverter.exe is the command line utility that comes with Team System and is located at: <Visual Studio 2005>\Common7\IDE\VSSConverter.exe

Comments BHofmann wrote May 4 2007 at 2:17 PM Hi Could you add a comment to the VssConverter project that tells people where to get VssConverter? If it's part of TFS, then please let us know. Thanks Bernhard marafacs wrote May 7 2007 at 11:53 AM If you forgot the note you will got this error : "An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in VssConverterGui.exe Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'VSSConverter, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." Thanks, Moustafa Arafa C# MVP http://moustafa-arafa.blogspot.com " Comanche wrote Dec 12 2007 at 12:49 PM I placed VssConverterGui.exe to the required folder. But it fails to start with the following System.IO.FileNotFoundException: "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.SourceSafe.Interop, Version=5.2.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." I managed to find Interop.SourceSafeTypeLib.dll at my PC - but it has version 5.1.0.0. What should I install to get the proper version at my machine? PS: And why this requirement is not mentioned at this page? Comanche wrote Dec 28 2007 at 11:14 AM No answer still... is it a dead project? aaroncali wrote Feb 12 at 3:19 PM I'm not sure if this is a dead project, however I think I have an answer to your question. I was trying to get this utility working with TFS 2008 and it wasn't working. I found that it was because it is using the 2005 versions of vssconverter.exe and also looking in the registry for the Team Projects under VS 8.0. Download the source code and make those modifications and you are set. I hope this helps. kerbou wrote Apr 1 at 8:10 PM I ran into the same problem as Comanche with the exact same error message. I have gotten the solution to work by simply downloading the sourcecode, adding the VSSConverter.exe file to the root folder of the solution and rebuilding. Sign in to add a comment
