It's been a while since I've set up one, but I remember it being very easy.
- run the installer.
- once finished, run the admin app, create a database: Tools > Create a database
- give it a path to where you want your repository to reside (the stored data, not the source controlled files)
- create the usernames and passwords (if any) you want to use. The default for a client is the username you are logged into Windows under.
- your done, and ready to use the client or add-in. Connect the repository (database) by finding the ssafe.ini file for the client/add-in.
- login to the system, usernames are not case-sensitive, passwords are.
- $/ is the root of all folder trees in VSS.
- Selecting $/ will allow you to create a project (new folder)..
- just screw around with it for a while. If you need any help once you get into the client, just go to the help options.. there's tons of tips, tidbits and information in there.
