Summary
Manual steps to fix Source Control integration when moving a project out of SourceSafe to TFSSymptoms
TF249051: No URL can be found that corresponds to the following server name: Z:\. Verify that the server name is correct.Z:\ is the valid location used for Microsoft SourceSafe. This is an indicator a project is still connected to SourceSafe and not Team Foundation Server (TFS). The TFS location may or may not have been associated within the InstallShield project.
Cause
InstallShield is expected to allow check out of an InstallShield project from your source code control system. When a project is migrated from SourceSafe to Team Foundation Server (TFS) a step is required to facilitate check out within the IDE.Orphaned data is present in the project file causing unexpected behavior.
Reference: Checking Projects out of Source Control
Resolution
Remove SccDatabasePath, SccEnabled and SccPath project data before migrating the InstallShield project to the TFS environment. The information in the project is expected to resemble:<row><td>SccDatabasePath</td><td>XXX</td></row> <row><td>SccEnabled</td><td>YYY</td></row> <row><td>SccPath</td><td>ZZZ</td></row>
Where XXX, YYY and ZZZ are references to the particular environment.
