CruiseControl with SourceSafe through Citrix

Question

I'm trying to set up CruiseControl.Net using SourceSafe as our source code repository. Looking at the example code in the CC.Net documentation I need to provide a path to the SourceSafe executable in the config file:

<sourcecontrol type="vss">
  <executable>C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VSS\win32\SS.EXE</executable>
  <project>$/CCNET</project>
  <username>buildguy</username>
  <password>buildguypw</password>
  <ssdir>c:\repos\</ssdir>
  <applyLabel>false</applyLabel>
  <autoGetSource>true</autoGetSource>
  <alwaysGetLatest>false</alwaysGetLatest>
  <workingDirectory>c:\myBuild</workingDirectory>
  <culture>fr-FR</culture>
  <cleanCopy>false</cleanCopy>
  <timeout units="minutes">10</timeout>
</sourcecontrol>

Sadly, we're running SourceSafe through Citrix so I don't have direct access to the SourceSafe executable. Any ideas how to get around this? Is it even possible?

Answer 1

No, you can't get this to work without direct access to the exe.
