Hi All,

The helptext says: Each time you start Visual FoxPro, it checks for a source control provider.

Who knows what this check actually consists of?

I'm asking this, because since this afternoon I get the error 'An unspecified registry error occurred' and the tab Tools>Options>Projects no longer displays any source control provider.

It appeared that the folder 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Common\VSS\win32\' contained only ssexp.exe. All other files were GONE!

I have copied the same folder from another PC. The Windows Links now work again, but VFP still doesn't find any 'source control provider'.
Groet,
Peter de Valença

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
