I have found the solution to the The SourceSafe database path XXX does not exist. You should specify paths in the \\myserver\mydir format rather than V:\mydir format.

I changed this and it works.

Excellent! A great way to get an RSS feed that you can use to track what other developers are doing to your code base! From RSS and SourceSafe .: QUOTE I while back, I wrote an application to generate RSS feeds from Visual SourceSafe databases....[more]

I just discovered this tool today via a Google search. Please consider an unlimited expiry, as I and others would love to see RSS-based delivery of VSS activity. Thanks.

What’s up with continuous expiration? Are you going to open it up or keep posting a new release? I like it, but if it’s not gonna be released without restrictions, it’s not worth much.

I see that his expires at the end of Oct - Are you planning on extending the date again?

I just started using it and it seems like a great tool

Thanks

I’m now getting same error others have:

Exception occurred generating RSS.

VSS Database: \\csmain\DATA1\CSS\srcsafe.ini

VSS Project: $/6764 – MN CVISN

Exception:

The SourceSafe database path dhaskin does not exist. Please select another database.

I assume the message is in error? The database is not ‘dhaskin’, that’s the username…

Hmm…

We’ve successfully installed this on our development server, but no vss.xml file is being generated, and we keep getting the following message in the event viewer:

Exception occurred generating RSS.

VSS Database: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\srcsafe.ini

VSS Project: $/d01_Web

Exception:

The specified module could not be found.

at VssRssSvc.GenRss.BuildRss(String srcSafeIniPath, String vssUser, String vssPass, String projectName, String outputPath, Int32 maxItems, Boolean recursive)

please advise.

thanks,

This rocks! But it's using a lot of CPU time. It's using about 40% of my CPU constantly, and a constant stream of network traffic (monitoring two fairly large VSS databases; about 40k files total).

I'm running it on a spare machine, so I don't mind the CPU usage too much. But is my VSS admin gonna come down on my head for putting a strain on the server? Can anyone comment on server load?

Thanks,
