Visual SourceSafe Differences fails

[bradpitcher]

Hi,
I'm having trouble running a diff command with SourceSafe. It displays the differences just fine and accurate but the step fails with this error:
Process completed with exit code 1

It's ok because I got the output I needed and I can just tell visual build to continue when the step fails, but I just want to understand why and see if it's fixable.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Brad

The SourceSafe action will fail if ss.exe returns an exitcode other than 0, and since ss.exe returns an exitcode of 1 on a diff if 1 or more files are different [1], that will cause the step to fail. We'll see about adding an option to the SourceSafe action to treat an exitcode of 1 as success.

Thanks for the reply! It eases my mind very much to know why it's happening. :)

The latest beta download includes this option.

I'm interested in buying the software, but I need the newest features included in the beta. Is there any way I can buy v. 6? On the order page there is only the option to buy version 5 and/or the version 5 upgrade.
