VSS ssarc.exe
 

VSS ssarc.exe and ssrestor.exe produce an error when calling it from within VBP or directly from the command line.

This is the command I use:

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\win32\SSARC.exe" -d- -i- "-sC:\Vss\Online,Data" -y, C:\Temp\Archive\Images.ssa $/Images

I recieve the following error:

The instruction at "0x00420e66" referenced memory at "0x00eb3a9c". The memory could not be "read".

Any ideas.

I similar test here (on the VBP sample database) worked ok. Apparently it doesn't like something about your database. Try running Analyze on your database (see the Analyze.bld sample). Also make sure you have the latest SP of SourceSafe installed.
