I did a Get Latest from the root folder ($) of a Source Safe database and all I got is all the folders hierarchy. There were no files anywhere. But if I do a Get Latest on each folder (project), I do the files for that folder hiearachy.
Why does this happen? Is this a permissions issue?
I have the same question... It plays when checking out a toplevel project ($/Projects) Below that is ok ($/Project/Demo1) works
-- EDIT: Solved
With patience the files started appearing after all. I know for sure that it had finished before, but that was on a copy of SSEXP started from withing visual studio 2008. Perhaps some memory restriction plays a role (makes it fail for large volumes of trees with many files, without displaying a proper error message?).
Anyhow, redoing the get from a SSEXP started with Visual Studio closed (and applying LOTS of patience) worked for me in the end
