Install SourceSafe 2005 on Windows 7

[Ben]

Hi - anyone did this successfully?
I get an error during installation of Microsoft Document Explorer:

[09/21/09,10:57:04] setup.exe: [2] CSetupManager::CopyDirectory :

Hi Ben,

Please try runing the VSS installer as administrator to see if it works. To
run as administrator, you can right-click setup.exe and click "Run as
administrator".

i tried that... didn't help.
eventually i couldn't install/uninstall anything and went back to xp.
so maybe was a general issue.
i might try again soon... did anyone install it successfully on win7?

Hi Ben,

I can install VSS 2005 successfully on Windows 7. Please try downloading and
running VSS again to see if it works.
