SYMPTOMS
As shipped, Visual SourceSafe 4.0 running on the MIPS platform does not work correctly with the MIPS Developers Studio IDE. As a result, the Source Control item does not appear on the Tools menu.

This problem only occurs on the MIPS version of Developer Studio 4.0.



CAUSE
This is due to a bug in the Visual SourceSafe file Ssscc.dll. This bug was discovered after the release of Visual SourceSafe 4.0 and before the release of Visual C++ 4.0. The bug is corrected in the Ssscc.dll file supplied on the \Msdev\Redist directory of the Visual C++ 4.0 for MIPS compact disc.



RESOLUTION
To fix this problem, copy the Ssscc.dll file from the \Msdev\Redist directory of the Developers Studio compact disc to the client computer's Visual SourceSafe installation directory, replacing the version of Ssscc.dll that came with Visual SourceSafe.

The incorrect version of Ssscc.dll that came with Visual SourceSafe is version 04.00.0816.

The corrected version of Ssscc.dll that comes with Visual C++ 4.0 for MIPS is 4.00.0912.

You should use File Manager's Search and Properties features to confirm that the correct copy of the .dll file is placed on your computer in all locations that Visual SourceSafe originally installed it.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. This bug was corrected in Visual SourceSafe 5.0. This problem has been fixed in Visual SourceSafe 5.0.



MORE INFORMATION
Both the Vcread.wri file and the Books Online readme discuss this problem and the resolution.
