Msscci with eMbedded C++ 4

  • Article

We recently discovered new IDE that works with TFS Msscci provider (well, almost ;) - eMbedded C++ 4. The only problem is that it displays often "Server Busy" message while doing SCC operations. The solution for this (until release of the new provider) is to create registry file (evc4fix.reg) with the following content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider\Settings\Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider\Settings\Microsoft eMbedded Visual C++\EVC.EXE]
"issues"=dword:00000011

Then run it. After the registry was updated, start eMbedded C++ 4 and enjoy source control with TFS :)
