How to upgrade an existing Visual Studio project to a
newer version of Visual Studio without affecting the existing project in Visual SourceSafe


  1. Copy folder forward to new server and rename foldername to
    new project name


  2. right-click on the folder and do properties and click off
    the read only link, select 'for folder and sub folders' and
    click ok.


  3. in the project folder, delete the following files:
    mssccprj - Source Code Control File
    YourProjectName.proj - Visual Studio Souce Control Project Metadata File
    YourProjectName - Visual Studio Source Control Solution Metadata File


  4. Rename your project file from
    YourProjectName
    to
    YourNewProjectName


  5. open project file and delete the following lines:
    SccProjectName,SccLocalPath,SccAuxPath, and SccProvider


  6. using a good global search and replace utility, scan the
    files for the string
    "YourProjectName.
    and replace with the string
    "YourNewProjectName.


  7. Now open the new version of Visual Studio first, then navigate to the
    project and open the new project file. The upgrade prompt will pop
    and the interface will not complain about source safe or update your
    last project definition in sourcesafe as this is a new project definition.
