I tried following this instruction. but I still cannot get sourceSafe to appear in the available plug in selection. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/Bb166193.aspx

I have two computer. Computer A and Computer B. Computer A has Visual Studio 2013 Premium and Visual SourceSafe 2005. and I can see the plug in in the selection like this enter image description here

Computer B has visual studio 2015 Express and Visual SourceSafe 2005. And this is all I see enter image description here

Can you please help me how to add this plug in? Thank you

  • VSS is a discontinued source control, and VS2015 is a newly released piece of software. What makes you think that VS2015 would have a VSS plugin available immediately following release? (Or at all?) – Kritner Aug 07 '15 at 18:45
  • why does your question reference VS13 and VS15, but you've tagged VS10 and VS12? – Kritner Aug 07 '15 at 18:47
  • I am pretty sure if I install visual studio 2015 premium, I will get the option no? – BobNoobGuy Aug 07 '15 at 19:01
  • I fixed my problems I was installing Visual studio 2015 for desktop and the option is not there. But when I install Visual Studio Community 2015. the option is available Now. – BobNoobGuy Aug 07 '15 at 19:06

I install Visual Studio Community 2015 (make sure you use vs_community.exe) and SourceSafe option will be available.

I was using vs_Desktop.exe previously.

Make sure to select and download the community edition instead of the visual studio express for desktop

There is patch for Visual SourceSafe that once installed lets you see the SourceSafe plugin in the Visual Studio Tools|Source Control plugin list here it is
