Do you have to have sourcesafe installed on a machine if you want to access a sourcesafe database that is stored on a server. I have written an app that retrieves and stores files to the database which works fine on my developtment machine but when run on a different PC has connection problems. Is there somekind of runtime dll that needs to be linked into the exe.
Thanks.
What interfaces are you using to access VSS?
This is what i am using to open a connection to the database.Quote:

What i want to know is there just a dll i could copy over from the sourcesafe installation if it is needed.
I understand what you are looking for.
IVSSDatabasePtr is a pointer to a com object. This com object needs to be available and registered on the target machine
To find what dll hosts this interface use the oleview.exe tool (Open a Visual Studio command prompt and type oleview) or search the classes root key in the registry for IVSSDatabase.
