[Sharad Jain]

Hi,

I am trying to get Anthill OS to work with VSS and I am getting following
exception.

I found a few other posts regarding this:

http://lists.urbancode.com/pipermail/anthill/2003-July/001675.html
http://lists.urbancode.com/pipermail/anthill/2003-June/001581.html
http://lists.urbancode.com/pipermail/anthill/2003-March/001152.html

Based on suggestions I am using Network path (UNC) e.v.
\\Network-server\GUI\Data\vss as my "repository.vss.root". Still no success
...
I tried executing the same command from the commane line and it fails when
SSDIR is defined as part of multiple command.

cmd /x/c cd /d C:\apps\anthill170\work\Active\soft && set
SSDIR=\\Network-server\GUI\Data\vss && C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VSS\win32\ss cp $/Active/soft -Ybuild,bbb && C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss get * -Ybuild,bbb -R -I-Y -O-

However when I take out "set SSDIR=/...", it work fine (as follows).

set SSDIR=\\Network-server\GUI\Data\vss
cmd /x/c cd /d C:\apps\anthill170\work\Active\soft && C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss cp $/Active/soft -Ybuild,bbb &&
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\ss get
* -Ybuild,bbb -R -I-Y -O-

I am trying this on Win2000.

The only difference I see between my command and the ones posted by other
users is that their commands are
included in double-quotes and my version of anthill (1.7.1_162) does not put
quotes around ss commands...

I dont know what else could be wrong.
I appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks,
