Thanks for this tool. We might want to use it for our VSS migration.

Hello,
I have only VS 2008, and when I try to start the VSSConverterGui.exe, it’s crashes. How can I use your tool in this case?

Great stuff once you’ve worked out what to install where - remember you need VSS2005 installed on the machine - alongside VS2005 - also need to have opened all your VSS and TFS sessions on the machine by the user going to migrate. Remeber that TFS loses shared file histories so only move projects within TFS NOT in VSS if you are rearranging file/project structure - otherwise you WILL lose your history. Had an issue on an XP box (showing incorrectly that my local VSS was not 6.0)but works fine on 2003 server with the same install of VSS.
Having said all this - still disappointed in TFS source control anyway!!!!!
Thanks for the Gui tho!

As with the previous post from Sriman . I also put the utility in the same directory as the VSSConverter.exe. The path to the directory is “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE”

I tried running the executable from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE nothing shows up. Ran the debugger and receive the following error:

“An unhandeled exception of type “System.IO.FileNotFoundException” occured in VSSGUI.exe”

If possible, can you provide anu assistance?

Thanks,

-Nick

I am using VSSConverterGui for migration from VSS to TFS. Can any one help me with the following error during the migration process ?

ERROR: The item [path] /projectxx1.cpp could not be found in your workspace ? Thanks.

Brilliant. Just migrated my first project using the GUI tool and it worked wonderfully.

Thank you.

Tim.

The version on CodePlex is the latest one. You should run the VssConverterGui.exe from the same directory where VssConverter.exe is located. That should be \Common7\IDE\VSSConverter.exe
