Title: TortoiseSVNSCC crashes AGS..?
Post by: monkey0506 on Fri 11/03/2011 05:39:15
I was looking for a free source control (versioning) system for use with AGS, which, per the manual, should be compatible with any MSSCCI-compliant revisioning software (yes, we've now covered the most common names for this type of software :P). I read somewhere that TortoiseSVNSCC (http://tortoisesvnscc.tigris.org/) is MSSCCI-compliant, though the actual project's site has nearly no documentation at all, so this could be incorrect perhaps?

In any case, when trying to start AGS (3.2.1) with TortoiseSVNSCC "installed" (registered the DLL with Windows via Regsvr32) AGS won't start at all; I get a Windows-based error that the program didn't start and would I like to check for a solution online. If I unregister the DLL then it starts up again.

In an unrelated note, on my roommate's Windows 7 laptop, TortoiseSVN's context menu doesn't show up after installing the program, but on the Windows 7 desktop it works fine..does anybody perhaps know anything about that? (If necessary this sub-discussion could be moved to a separate topic in the Gen-Gen).

No idea, the TortoiseSVNSCC website says it was last updated in October 2005, who knows if it even works at all?

Fair point. :P

I've looked around and I'm having trouble finding a free MSSCCI provider. Also I have a question regarding such providers in general. What exactly defines an MSSCCI provider? I haven't actually been able to find a definition of it (in any language), just implementations thereof.

I'm trying to see if writing a wrapper for an existing source control implementation (like TortoiseSVN) that is also a valid MSSCCI provider, particularly one specific to AGS, would be viable.
