DOC: User's Guide Gives Wrong Required Windows NT Version (153508)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual SourceSafe for Windows 4.0
This article was previously published under Q153508 SUMMARY
The Visual SourceSafe User's Guide states that to run on Windows NT that
version 3.5 or later is needed. Visual SourceSafe will run on Windows
NT 3.5, but you cannot perform the initial installation on Windows NT 3.5
due to the setup program, and you must have Windows NT 3.51 or later.
Microsoft is aware of this behavior and will post new information here in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
MORE INFORMATION
The Systems Requirements on the back of the Visual SourceSafe package state
that Window NT 3.51 or later is required. However, page 3 of the User's
Guide, under System Requirements, states that Windows NT 3.5 or later is
needed. This can cause some confusion as to which version of Windows NT
Visual SourceSafe needs. The answer is that Visual SourceSafe will run
under Windows NT 3.5 and you can also do a Netsetup to install the client
on Windows NT 3.5, but you must have Windows NT 3.51 or later if you plan
on doing the initial installation under Windows NT.
