Question

I'm stuck with Visual SourceSafe, which I realize isn't the latest and greatest in source code control. Does FogBugz integrate with VSS?

Answer 1

Yes, there is hope for you! FogBugz does integrate with VSS. You can find instructions for getting up and running here.

There are a couple of caveats that I'd like to highlight:

• Support is for Visual Source Safe 2005 or later (version 6d will not work)
• Integration works in 64-bit environments, but it requires that the FogBugz website run in 32-bit mode.

Switching the FogBugz website from 64- to 32-bit mode:

• In the registry, copy everything you find in:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Fog Creek Software

  To:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Fog Creek Software

• (a) In IIS 7, click on Application Pools. Right-click the FogBugz application pool and choose "Advanced Settings." Set "Enable 32-bit Applications" to "True."

• (b) For IIS 6, follow these instructions from Microsoft. Please note that IIS 6 is all or nothing. All sites will run in 32-bit mode.
