VSS SS.EXE History "Version Not Found" Error

[mweinberger]

Hi All,

I'm having trouble running the following VSS line:

"C:\program files\vss\win32\ss.exe" History $/FirmwareUpgrade/DLink/1.1 -NL -R -V"L1.1.0 CM Build 6~L1.1.0 CM Build 5"

The problem is more than likely a deleted file somwhere in one of the sub folders. I encountered a similar problem getting the entire project tree before, when the get would fail. A search on Google led me to the solution to use *?* as part of the get, as that would bypass an missing files. I tried adding *?* after the token "History" and still received the "Version Not Found" error message. If I take the -R out, then everything is fine and SS.exe returns valid results.

What do you advise?

thanks in advance,

Make sure you have the latest release of VSS. You might try running analyze to repair your DB (see the Analyze.bld sample). Otherwise, you'll probably need to open a support incident with MS about the problem.
